<p>This is the final documentation of the basis that can be the foundation of how to solve the</p><p>problem with leaking hydraulic oil in a shoe press at the company Albany International</p><p>AB in Halmstad, Sweden.</p><p>The project has been performed at Halmstad University as a degree project commissioned</p><p>by Albany International AB. The purpose of the degree project was to find a way of</p><p>detecting the hydraulic leak of a shoe press. The reason is that the shoe press runs</p><p>unattended during nights and weekends, this can cause an extensive decontamination</p><p>work and production stop if leak. The hydraulic oil could be leaking in large amounts or</p><p>slowly as a fine mist. The development of a working system that can detect a hydraulic</p><p>oil leak and stop the machine before a large amount of hydraulic oil leaks out would</p><p>considerably reduce the cost of the decontamination work. It would also reduce the</p><p>interruption time of the production. When the hydraulic oil is leaking as a fine mist and</p><p>spreading in the facility, the risk of fire is much higher and will be reduced if detected in</p><p>time.</p><p>The outcome of the degree project is this document containing results of investigations</p><p>and a suggestion on how to make a prototype. In benefit of investigations, inquiry and</p><p>tests the project group has been able to choose a suitable method of how to detect a</p><p>hydraulic leak. The prototype has been tested in laboratory environment and showed a</p><p>god ability to detect hydraulic oil.</p>
