The temperature-based change in the viscosity of hydraulic and lubricating oils requires closely monitoring and stabilising the medium temperature. Furthermore, close temperature monit- oring impacts the life of the oils. The oil tank is typically accep- ted as the control point for the oil temperature, which generally provides an informative mean value. It may further be helpful to also monitor segments or individual devices in a system.
The values determined by the measuring points must be trans- mitted to the system control in a compliant manner. However, for safety reasons it is advisable to at least display the current oil temperature on the oil tank.
