Abstract
A debris sensor may include a body including a first end and a second end, a ferrous particle sensor connected to the body, and a magnetic chip collector connected to the body at a position closer to the second end than the ferrous particle sensor. A plurality of magnets may be disposed closer to the second end than the magnetic chip collector. A non-ferrous particle sensor may be connected to the body and the non-ferrous particle sensor may be disposed closer to the second end than the plurality of magnets.

A debris sensor, comprising:
- a body including a first end and a second end;
- a ferrous particle sensor connected to the body;
- a magnetic chip collector connected to the body at a position closer to the second end than the ferrous particle sensor;
- a plurality of magnets disposed closer to the second end than the magnetic chip collector;
- and

3 more elements
A debris sensor, comprising:
- a first sensor;
- a source of a first magnetic field disposed downstream of the first sensor, the first magnetic field configured to be sensed by the first sensor;
- a second sensor disposed downstream of the source of the first magnetic field;
- and
- a source of a second magnetic field disposed upstream of the second sensor, the second magnetic field configured to be sensed by the second sensor;
- wherein the first sensor is configured to sense particles of a first type, the second sensor is configured to sense particles of a second type, and the debris sensor is configured to provide fluid communication from its inlet to its outlet.
