Patent CA-2565781-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOYLE FREDERICK P
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 2005-05-03
Abstract: A method for determining condition of a highly resistive fluid in transportation and industrial equipment. The method uses apparatus that applies a high frequency oscillating voltage signals to electrodes immersed in the fluid and quantifies fluid response to the signals. Apparatus can further include means to control the temperature of the fluid, or a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of fluid at the electrodes. The method monitors response of the fluid to the electrical signal applied by the apparatus. The frequency of the applied signal for the method is predetermined as a function of apparatus electrode geometry, fluid temperature or temperature range, and chemical composition of the fluid being monitored. The magnitude of fluid response relative to initial and the rate of change of the fluid response as a function of equipment use are used to essentially continuously determine fluid condition while in use. In particular, the method can determines approximate contaminant content of the fluid and can determine when the fluid has reached the end of its useful life due to the approximate contaminant content and/or due to loss or ability to disperse additional contaminants as very finely divided suspended particles. For apparatus or applications where the monitored fluid is not controlled to constant temperature, the method includes correcting the temperature sensitive fluid responses for temperature variations for the fluid quality and condition determination. The method can also include determining when essentially complete fluid exchanges are made to the equipment without need for additional input.

Title: Engine with charge air-cooling system with water fumigation
Inventor: GOETZKE MICHAEL B
IPC: F01L1/18
Filed: 2005-09-29
Abstract: An engine charge air-cooling system with water fumigation for an internal combustion engine includes a charge air cooler having a housing, a heat exchanger core, an air inlet and an air outlet. The charge air cooler inlet is connected to an outlet of a compressed air source, such as a turbocharger, through a cooler intake header . The charge air cooler outlet is connected through a cooler outlet header to cylinder intake ports of the engine. The cooler intake header is adapted to receive water in a passage below the cooler inlet. Hot, compressed charge air entering the charge air cooler through the intake header mixes with water vapor formed in the header, thereby humidifying the charge air that enters the cylinders from the charge air cooler. The high, energy absorbing capability of the water molecule reduces the peak combustion temperature, thereby reducing Nox production in the combustion reaction.
