Safety Begins with Fluid Health™
Hydraulic elevator performance depends on the health of the fluid that powers it. Covion Solutions’ FluidIQ™ technology and explains how continuous, real-time oil health monitoring helps identify developing fluid-related issues before they impact safety, reliability, or passenger experience. Learn how advanced sensing and AI-powered analytics help reduce risk, improve maintenance planning, and extend the life of critical hydraulic elevator systems.
Thanks to Covion Solutions for partnering with The University of Texas at Austin and providing Varnish Mitigation services on the elevator oil at McDonald Observatory. This process treats the oil to suspend the varnish in solution making it removable by filtration. When the oil is clean they refortified the oil with antioxidants and anti-wear ingredients. This process gives us a clean system with a fluid that keeps the varnish in suspension instead of letting it deposit on the surfaces of the piston, valve, and pump unit.
Our elevators run smoother, smell better, and last longer.
