FuelSense
Fuel that is mixed with engine oil has a significant influence on the lubricating properties of the engine oil and consequently on the friction and wear of components in the combustion engine. Increased amounts of fuel in the engine oil lead to a reduction in oil viscosity and consequently to reduced friction on the one hand, but also to increased wear on the other.
Especially when operating the engine in transitional areas, a device for real-time measurements is indispensable to obtain time-resolved oil dilution values. The V&F FuelSense has been specifically designed for this task. In combination with the V&F LubeSampler, oil dilution can now be determined on-line.

HSense
The HSense is a mass spectrometer based on the principle of electron impact ionization (EI-MS), optimized to rapidly and reliably measure H2 and He. By using the EI ion source, the sample gas components are ionized, focused, and then separated in a magnetic field to measure hydrogen and helium.
The HSense is available with unique and fully automatic gas inlet systems to compensate for pressure variations, optimize the amount of sample gas withdrawn, and ensures accurate measurement.
Any impurity due to condensation or particles is minimized by the integrated 2 µm fine filter and the integrated sample gas conditioning system eliminates existing moisture in the sample gas.

HydrogenSense
The use of hydrogen-containing impurities can cause damage to fuel cells after a short time. To counter this, guidelines for appropriate hydrogen purity have been established in International Standards ISO 14687:2019 and SAE J2719, which specify the maximum allowable impurity levels for compounds such as H2O, O2, He, N2, Ar, CO, CO2, TS, THC, HCHO, HCOOH, NH3, HBr, HCl, and Cl2.
The HydrogenSense is a combination of Electron impact (EI-MS) and Ion-molecule reaction (IMR-MS) mass spectrometer in one analyzer unit designed to measure all impurities in hydrogen for PEM fuel cells.

LubeSense
Engine oil loss is a severe problem in today’s engine development. Downsizing engines together with turbocharging, reducing piston ring thickness in combination with increased cylinder pressures result in engine oil loss. Minimizing oil loss requires knowledge of the engine conditions in which this occurs.
Especially when operating engines in transient conditions, a device for real-time measurements is essential to obtain time-resolved oil consumption profiles. The V&F LubeSense has been specifically designed for this task. In combination with the V&F GasOxidizer, oil consumption quantities can now be determined on-line using the SO2 tracer method.
