UK aims to cut Challenger 2 costs with oil analysis system
Article Abstract:
The British Army will modify the powerpacks of its Challenger two tank fleet for oil health monitoring (OHM) in near realtime. OHM has become routine in both air force and naval sectors for gas-turbine maintenance purposes. By using spectrometric analysis, the levels of metallic and non- metallic elements occurring in lubricating oil because of wear can be determined. The Army chose the David Brown TN37 gearbox as a suitably high-value assembly for monitoring.
