Chromatic device was developed using light emitting diodes, optic fibers and photodiodes. Chromatic ratio and total contamination parameters based on transmitted light intensity in Red, Green, and Blue wavelengths were used for oil chemical and particulate contamination assessment. Chromatic ratio criterion was found independent of the particulate contamination of oil; but depended on chemical degradation, being more sensitive for synthetic than mineral hydraulic oil. Total contamination index of the sensor depended on both the chemical degradation and particulate contamination of the oil; being most sensitive in blue wavelength, and least in the red. Test results for synthetic hydraulic oils monitored corroborated with results of other tests such as viscosity, total acid number, elemental optical emission spectroscopy, particulate counts and UV-VIS photospectrometry. Chromatic ratio showed a clearer indication of oil degradation, compared to key monitoring parameters such as total acid number, viscosity and particle counts. The results showed that these parameters are effective criteria for the condition monitoring of synthetic hydraulic oils.

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.

Changes in light transmission characteristics caused by various types of oil contaminations were experimentally measured with a built-in type wear monitoring device. Three kinds of iron powders of different size distribution, carbon duct, two kinds of solutions and grease were used for the test contaminants in this work. Light intensity of the transmitted light was measured with the contamination level. Results showed that the transmitted light intensity decreased linearly with the contamination concentration in the oil and the slope was affected by the size distribution. Light attenuation was also caused greatly by carbon dust, water contamination and poly-meric fibers in terms of the light absorption. As a result, it was proved that the optical measurement device could be applicable effectively for detecting any significant change in lubricating oils.

Light intensity of the transmitted light was treasured with the contamination level. Results showed that the transmitted light intensity decreased linearly with the contamination concentration in the oil and the slope was affected by the size distribution. Light attenuation was also caused greatly by carbon dust, water contamination and polymeric fibers mainly due to the light absorption. As a result, it was proved that the optical measurement device could be applicable effectively for detecting any significant change iii lubricating oils.

An integrated in-line oil monitoring detector assigned for continuous in situ monitoring multiple parameters of oil performance for predicting economically optimal oil change intervals and equipment condition control is presented in this study. The detector 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 intensity of oil in three optical wavebands ("Red", "Green" and "Blue") and water content is evaluated as Relative Saturation of oil by water. The detector is able to monitor oils with low light absorption (hydraulic, transformer, turbine, compressor and etc. oils) as well as oils with rather high light absorption in visible waveband (diesel and etc. oils). In a case study that the detector is applied to a diesel engine oil, it is found that the detector provides good results on oil chemical degradation as well as soot concentration.

This study area has been contaminated by oils. To identify contaminated ranges and to assess the possibility of contamination dispersion, monitoring wells were installed and slug test, field soil permeability test, automatic or manual measurement of groundwater table, and groundwater quality analyses in field and laboratory were performed. In addition, a groundwater modeling program was used to assess the possibility of oil contamination dispersion, based on field data and groundwater quality data. The results showed that concentration of oil contaminants in groundwater have been decreased by dispersion and adsorption.

지반오염을 조사하기 위해서는 시추작업을 통하여 시료를 채취하는 방법이 일반적이지만, 실시간으로 원위치에서 다양한 오염물질들의 오염 도 변화를 체계적으로 모니터링 하는 것은 대단히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) 장비를 고안하여 지반의 유류오염을 파악하기 위한 유전율 측정법의 실험적 접근을 시도하였다. 구체적으로 포화 및 불포화 매질에 대한 유류 오염도 측정 및 체적함수비 (θ/sub w/)와 체적 유류비 ( θ/sub al/)의 관계에서 유전율 상수 반응에 따른 매질의 유류 오염도 등의 측정 가능성을 실내 시험을 통해 검토하였다. 뿐만 아니라 실내 칼럼 시험을 수행하여 포화 매질 내에서 유류 거동 특성을 각기 설치된 FDR 측정 센서를 이용해 모니터링하여 포화 매질의 유효공극률과 유류 잔류비를 측정하였다. 그 결과 초기 공극률 0.40으로 제작된 포화 매질의 유효공극률은 약 0.35로 공극률 대비 약 87.5% 범위내에 존재함을 알 수 있었으며, 유류 잔류비는 약 62.5% 정도로 매우 높게 나타났다.

Our experiment investigated the degree of soil contaimination caused by oil leakage. Each soil sample was taken by boring 5, 8m below the test areas, located 5 to 30m from storage tanks at oil stations. According to the results from a series of laboratory tests(both soxhiet extract test and gas chromatograph test), Traces of a light oil were found in all samples except in Dj8, rocky soil and gasoline and petroleum were not detected. We concluded that soil contamination was caused by the corrosion of storage tanks or alternatively by oil overflow caused during the flooding of underground water seeping into the tank during heavy rain fall or the spillage caused by carelessness during lubrication. Old stations without a concrete box enclosing their metal tanks run a greater risk of oil leakage. To research the effect of oil leakage on plant growth and underground water, We examined the results of research conducted overseas. According to these results, when oil leakage occurs, plant growth is repressed and agricultural crops experience low productivity levels. Also, the contamination of underground water can be serious when oil spreads to the aquifer layer. As a result of these problems, to prevent oil leakage and minimize its contaminating effects at oil stations, it is necessary to improve facilities of storage tanks and have the monitoring system of oil leakage.

To improve the reliability and extend the life for a wind-turbine gearbox, the gearbox needs to be monitored and analysed exactly. This study was conducted to analyze and detect the gearbox conditions when lubricating oil contaminated by wear particles was used. Characteristics of the gearbox failure by wear particles were monitored simultaneously by the on-line measurement sensor of vibration, oil condition and temperature. For the detail vibration analyses, frequency analysis(FFT) was performed. The results of the study were summarized as follows: Vibrational signal was found sensitive to abnormal changes of the gearbox conditions when lubricant was contaminated by wear particles. Also, using frequency analysis for the harmonics of gear mesh frequency(GMF), it is found that the failure of gearbox was caused by the damages of meshing gears. However, temperature and oil condition measuring signals were found not so effective to detect any gearbox failure by oil contamination.

본 연구는 자외선-형광분석법을 이용한 유류저장시설의 모니터링 시스템의 현장 적용성에 관한 기초 실험으로서, 선행연구에서 사용하였던 샘플들의 실제 오염상황을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 한계점을 보완하였다. 선행연구에서 보다 측정의 신뢰도를 높이기 위하여 오염이 발생하여 이동하고 감지되어지는 실제 상황을 고려한 형광 측정 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 자연환경의 영향을 보기 위하여 수분 함량에 따른 형광의 세기를 비교한 결과 수분에는 큰 영향을 받지 않고, 측정시의 토양의 상태에 좌우된다고 사료된다. 마지막으로 안정적인 오염도 측정값을 얻기 위하여 시스템에 이용할 대표성을 갖는 표준 토양을 결정하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 모래와 칼슘-벤토나이트(Ca-bentonite), 연마용 모래를 실험했으며, 이외에도 여러 가지 단일물질들을 테스트하였으나 모래를 제외한 다른 물질들은 시스템에 적용하기엔 한계점이 있었다 그러나 모래는 자체 형광이 낮아 형광 측정에 영향을 적게 미치며, 누구나 쉽게 구할 수 있는 장점과 더불어 오염도에 따른 형광이 비교적 안정적이어서 시스템의 감지부에 넣어줄 표준 토양으로 이용하기에 적합하다고 사료된다.
