선박 엔진 크랭크 케이스 내부의 기계 결함으로 발생하는 윤활 오일 미스트 발생은 폭발뿐만 아니라 급격한 온도와 압력상승으로 2차 폭발을 야기하는 등 큰 피해를 가져와 현재 선박용 엔진의 크랭크 케이스에 오일미스트 검출장치의 설치를 의무화 하고 있는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 피해를 줄이기 위하여 광 산란 방식을 이용한 오일 미스트 검출장치를 구현하였으며, 구현된 오일미스트 검출 장치의 오일미스검출 센서 센싱 성능은 전기적, 광학적 그 외 환경적 요인으로 인하여 출력값이 일정하지 못해 각각의 오일미스트 검출 센서를 보정해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 크랭크케이스마다 장착되는 오일미스트 검출 센서의 오차를 최소화하기 위하여 정밀하게 Calibration된 Reference Data를 기반으로 최소자승법을 적용하여 센서를 Calibration하였으며, 그 결과 각각의 오일미스 검출센서의 오차를 기존 방법과 비교하여 최소화할 수 있었다.

센서는 자연현상을 감지하는 소자로 계측 및 제어시스템의 구성요소로 이용되며, 센서를 이용 하여 Closed-loop System의 구성을 가능케 하며, 지능화된 시스템을 구현 할 수 있다. 센서는 압력, 유량, 온도, 자장, 광 등을 측정하는 물리적 센서, pH, 이온, 산소 등의 구성물을 감지하는 화학센서, 인체의 혈당량, 뇌의 상태, 냄새 등을 측정하는 바이오 센서로 대별될 수 있다. 이중 물리적 센서는 기계적 시스템에 많이 이용되며, 특히 압력, 유량센서는 자동차에 있어서 엔진의 Manifold, 엔진오일, 브레이크 오일, 타이어, 연료 등의 상태를 측정하는데 사용되고 있다. 예를 들어 1980년대에는 미국 Ford와 Motorola사가 공동으로 반도체공정 기술을 이용한 용량 형(capacitive) 압력센서를 개발하여 엔진의 컨트롤시스템에 이용하였다. 이러한 압력센서는 1988년에 15억불의 매출을 기록하였으며, 1955년에는 30억불로 늘어날 전망으로 있어 가장 많이 사용되는 센서로 각광을 받고 있다. 이글에서 압력센서의 원리 및 종류에 대하여 알아보고, 마 이크로머시닝 기술 등의 제작방법과 이의 응용에 대하여 논의하려 한다.

A coil-type capacitive sensor on which the deterioration of the car engine oil can be in situ measured, has been developed. The sensor was designed to get over 10 pF at the limited space on the drain hole of the oil pan. The design factors for stable capacitance measurement such as coil diameter and winding condition, materials and configuration of the coil former, and shielding method, etc., were known by both computer simulation and experimental investigations. The dielectric properties measured by several sensors for an used sample oil were consisted within 0.25%. The sensor installed on the car having severe vibration, temperature and humidity fluctuation, even electromagnetic noise, has shown very distinguishable results.

In this Paper, the dynamic temperature sensitivity and mu. temperature measurement errors of oil and air sensor in oil cooler are evaluated to predict design validity of sensors under special oil and atmosphere temperature changes. The temperature tracking of oil sensors for periodic temperature changes is simulated by obtaining thermal response coefficient from experiment. By this method, it is possible to design the optimal sensors with the admitted temperature measurement errors.

This study investigates the detection system of oil pollution level using single optical fiber sensor. This study focus on sensing of oil pollution by moisture and iron powder which are representatives of oil pollution factor. In addition, It is placed that the water and iron powder as an oil pollution factor in the oil tank which is the oil circulation in. The oil pollution detection system was measured by the changing of intensity of light and sensing gap. The result of this experimentation not only confirmed the contamination by moisture volume in the oil tank from the section 190ppm to 540ppm, but also monitored the contamination by iron volume from the section 1200ppm to 3500ppm. This study confirmed effectiveness of this detection system using optical fiber sensor. There is expectations of measuring another section by various optical fiber sensor.

Several methods were developed for on-line measuring oil consumption in gasoline engine using an oil consumption meter. The oil consumption meter indicates the oil quantity by real-time-measuring the oil level in the sump. In order to measure the oil consumption, the oil consumption meter proposed in this paper requires shorter time, less additional procedures, and shows better results than the traditional drain method. Under steady-state engine-operating conditions, the results obtained through the regression or the difference method show an good agreement with those through the drain method. Under transient engine-operating conditions, on the other hand, good results can be obtained through the reference method.

One of the important trends for condition monitoring in the 21st century is the development of smart sensors that will permit the cost-effective continuous monitoring of key machine equipments. In this study, an integrated in-line oil monitoring sensor assigned for continuous in situ monitoring multiple parameters of oil performance is presented. The sensor estimates oil deterioration based on the information about chemical degradation, total contamination, water content of oil and oil temperature. The oil oxidation is estimated by "chromatic ratio", total contamination is measured by the changes in optical density of oil in three optical wave-bands ('Red', 'Green' and 'Blue') and water content is evaluated as relative saturation of oil by water. In order to evaluate the sensor's effectiveness, the sensor was applied to several used oil samples in steel making industry and the results were compared with those measured by standard test methods.

Oil spills cause a lot of damage to the environment. Oil destroys the water environment and ecosystem in a very short period of time once they are contaminated by it, it takes a lot of time to recover from the contamination and the cleaning process is very difficult. Therefore, oil detectors are greatly needed as they can monitor any oil spills over the sea, rivers, and lakes. There are two kinds of technology available for detecting oil, viz. the contact and non-contact types. The former is based on the use of the conductivity, capacitance and microwaves, while the latter employs infrared, UV, laser, optic and radar technologies. As there are also various hurdles in the measuring of oil on water, such as the presence of waves, refraction of light, temperature and saltiness, it is imperative to select the right oil detector which is appropriate for the specific environment. In this study, a contact type oil detector is developed, which can be used in oil related industries, such as refineries, petrochemical companies, and power generation stations. The detector is made up of the sensor module, which floats on the water, and the controller which processes the signal coming from the sensor module and displays it. It is designed in such a way that the existence of oil is detected through the sensor and the change in the permittivity is observed to determine the volume and type of spilled oil.
