Abstract
A debris detection system for detecting debris in a fluid flow in which both a primary and a secondary fluid flow from a fluid reservoir are maintained. The fluid reservoir is situated downstream of the system being served and receives the debris from the system being served. Within the reservoir the primary fluid flow is shielded from all but the colloidal debris received. All non-colloidal as well as colloidal debris is diverted to the secondary fluid flow where the amount and rate of debris accumulation is detected.
