Abstract

See full text

In an inductive debris monitor (IDM) an inductive probe is disposed at a fluid flow passageway to be monitored, and an RF bridge containing a variable resistance network is used to detect changes in the impedance of the probe due to the passage of metallic debris. An indirectly heated thermistor is utilized in the resistance network for balancing the bridge. Thus the operating temperature range is significantly extended without compromising reliability or experiencing degradation.
