ABSTRACT:
A sensitive and rapid electrochemical sensor monitors motor oil deterioration, particularly antioxidation property, by determining the antioxidant and antiwear agent level remaining in an oil formulation. The electrochemical sensor is a two- or three-electrode electrochemical cell having a conductive electrolyte liquid or gel-like interphase over the electrode surfaces. The degree of deterioration of a motor oil in service is monitored by measurements of antioxidation or antiwear capacity of the oil. The electrochemical sensor can be used for monitoring other lubricants and hydrocarbons which contain electroactive additives. The electrochemical sensor allows measurements to be performed in-situ, without any chemical or physical pretreatment of the oil.
