Research question
How does fluid aging and oxidation change the electrical environment experienced by immersed electronics, and how early is that change measurable?
Method
Grouped test cells run Immersion Canary Environmentally Induced Degradation (EID) sensing cards in aged and control fluids under configured bias, with leakage current, heater duty cycle and board temperature logged continuously per device.
Status: Ongoing research
Findings will be published after the study is complete and reviewed. Get in touch to discuss the method or collaborate.
