Oil deterioration detector. |
摘要 |
<p>An apparatus detects the degree of deterioration of lubricating oil used in an internal combustion engine by measuring the dielectic constant of the lubricating oil. The apparatus includes a sensor (16) having a pair of spaced apart electrodes dipped under the lubricating oil to form a sensor capacitor whose capacity varies as a function of the dielectric constant of the lubricating oil. The sensor capacitor is connected to a fixed capacitor to form a voltage divider connected across an AC voltage source (14) which generates an AC voltage of a constant frequency so that a voltage is developed across the sensor capacitor which voltage corresponds to the dielectric constant of the lubricating oil. The frequency of the AC voltage is set at a value ranging from 50 KHz to 500 KHz. </p> |
