Working Principle

 

Laser Sensor Detection Principle
The liquid sample enters the glass flow cell via negative pressure siphon. Laser beams collimated by optical lenses vertically penetrate the flow cell and reach the photodiode detector. Without particles, the detector outputs a stable maximum photocurrent. When solid particles pass through the laser path, light shielding reduces incident optical power, generating negative pulse current signals. The pulse amplitude is proportional to the particle's projected cross-sectional area, enabling the system to calculate particle dimension and perform counting based on signal magnitude.
 

Complete Instrument Operation Logic
1.Sampling Stage: The three-way valve switches to sampling state, the high-pressure injection pump extracts oil samples through the sampling needle into the laser flow cell; particle shading signals are amplified and collected by the circuit, then transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer for particle size classification and statistical counting.
2.Discharge Stage: The three-way valve shifts to liquid drainage position, the injection pump pushes residual sample into the waste liquid container.
3.Reverse Flushing Stage: The valve remains at drainage mode, the pump draws cleaning solvent from the waste cup to backwash the flow cell, removing residual particle contaminants and preventing pipeline blockage.

 

FAQ

 

Q1: What pretreatment steps are required for oil samples before testing?

A: Seal the sample bottle tightly, perform ultrasonic vibration for minimum 1 min with ultrasonic power ≥4000 W/m² (liquid level consistent between tank and sample bottle). Shake manually for 5 min, conduct short vacuum degassing, then stand for 2–3 s before testing.

Q2: Abnormally long sampling time and unstable counting data, what is the root cause?

A: The glass flow cell is blocked by viscous oil or large particles. Solve via reverse flushing, alternating air-liquid circulation cleaning or dedicated solvent pipeline cleaning as described in the maintenance module.

Q3: The printed report shows blank content with no particle data output

A: Confirm the thermal paper is installed with the heat-sensitive coating facing upward; ensure the paper extends out of the outlet and is fully pressed by the rubber roller, then re-close the printer cover.

Q4: How often is calibration required, and what three calibration items are mandatory?

A: Regular calibration includes noise testing, particle size calibration and volumetric calibration. Volume calibration uses 5 mL fixed sampling volume with gravimetric weighing method; particle size calibration uses standard calibration liquid to adjust threshold voltage for curve correction.

Q5: Pressure chamber cannot build stable pressure during testing

A: Verify tight connection of positive/negative pressure air tubes on the rear panel; drain accumulated water inside the air filtration assembly through the observation window; check whether the filter block of the air drying unit is clogged and replace if necessary.

Q6: Login prompt pops up and all testing functions are locked

A: The instrument prohibits all operations without valid user login. Log in with admin (initial password 0) for full authority, or operator accounts for limited testing permissions.
