Water or forms of water such as moisture is a common contaminant in most types of oils. Water can drastically deteriorate the performance of oil for e.g in fuel supply , lubrication, cooling, insulation, hydraulic circuits and other purposes. A high water content increases the risk of corrosion, overheating, machine malfunction, loss of product revenue and other problems.

THE EASZ-1 WATER CONTAMINATION MONITOR

Water contamination can lead to costly failures ,unscheduled downtime and loss of revenue . Continuous monitoring the oil for moisture is a simple way to improve the reliability of fuel , lubricants, hydraulics and industrial machinery and equipment. With time, substantial savings in maintenance costs can be achieved.
