Abstract
The invention relates to an oil system (1), in particular a hydraulic oil system or a lubricating oil system, comprising a sensor (14) for monitoring the impurity content of the oil in the oil system (1), said sensor detecting a value which is correlated with the impurity content. A particularly cost-effective construction is achieved, if the sensor is configured as a turbidity sensor (14) which measures the turbidity of the oil, which has been caused by the impurity content.
Claims15
An oil system, in particular a hydraulic system or a lubricating oil system, having a sensor (14) for monitoring the impurity content in the oil in the oil system (1), which senses a value that correlates with the impurity content, characterized in that
- the sensor is designed as a turbidity sensor (14) which measures the turbidity of the oil which occurs as a function of the impurity content.
