Abstract
A sensing system for monitoring an industrial fluid is presented. The sensing system includes a housing and a sensor probe disposed at least partially in the housing, where the sensor probe includes a substrate, a sensing region disposed on the substrate, a first coil disposed on the substrate and coupled to the sensing region, and a second coil disposed on the substrate and coupled to the first coil. A method for operating the sensing system is also presented.
Claims27
A sensing system for monitoring an industrial fluid, the sensing system comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a sensor probe disposed at least partially in the housing, wherein the sensor probe comprises:
- a substrate;
- a sensing region disposed on the substrate;
- a first coil disposed on the substrate and coupled to the sensing region;
- and
- a second coil disposed on the substrate and coupled to the first coil.
A method for operating a sensing system, the method comprising:
- exciting a sensor probe in operational contact with an industrial fluid, wherein the sensor probe is disposed at least partially in a housing, wherein the sensor probe comprises a substrate, a sensing region disposed on the substrate, a first coil disposed on the substrate and coupled to the sensing region, and a second coil disposed on the substrate and coupled to the first coil;
- operating the sensor probe at one or more frequencies in a frequency range of analysis of the industrial fluid based on the excitation;
- generating an output signal from the sensor probe across the frequency range of analysis of the industrial fluid;
- and
- determining one or more properties of the industrial fluid based at least in part of the output signal generated from the sensor probe.
