Transformer fluid, including mineral oil, esters, or silicone, cools and insulates transformers, preventing overheating and electrical discharge. GlobeCore purification plants treat all types of transformer fluids, maintaining their dielectric strength and stability.
Daniel WalkerMemberAsphalt emulsion sealer is a protective coating made from water-based asphalt used to seal and protect pavements and driveways. GlobeCore plants allow the production of sealing emulsions with customizable viscosity and durability.
July 25, 2025 at 9:41 am in reply to: Where to buy a silicone transformer oil tan delta tester? #322410Daniel WalkerMemberGlobeCore supplies TOR-3 tan delta testers worldwide, including delivery, staff training, and full technical support for utilities and industrial clients.
July 23, 2025 at 1:37 am in reply to: Best tester for dissolved water and solid particles in hydraulic oil #321925Daniel WalkerMemberThe GlobeCore TOR-6 can detect both dissolved water and fine particles, protecting pumps, valves, and other hydraulic components from failure.
April 6, 2025 at 3:52 am in reply to: What economic and ecological factors should be examined if cod liver oil is scaled up for commercial biodiesel production? #317867Daniel WalkerMemberEconomically, cod liver oil is less abundant and more expensive than plant oils, often used for pharmaceuticals. However, using waste liver oil from fish processing adds value and offsets disposal costs. Ecologically, marine-sourced biodiesel reduces food crop competition and supports waste reduction in fisheries. Key challenges include feedstock logistics, seasonal availability, and regulations on marine byproducts. The GlobeCore USB system enables flexible, modular production, ideal for coastal regions looking to add renewable fuel streams to existing industries.
April 4, 2025 at 7:20 pm in reply to: How do variations in flaxseed oil quality or composition affect the biodiesel yield and final fuel properties? #317701Daniel WalkerMemberVariations in free fatty acid content, moisture, and oxidation level can affect transesterification efficiency and fuel quality. High FFAs may cause soap formation, reducing yield. Oxidized oil can lower oxidative stability of the biodiesel. The GlobeCore USB plant includes oil pre-treatment options and precise chemical dosing, ensuring high conversion even with variable oil input. Consistent processing helps produce biodiesel that meets EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards, despite fluctuations in oil quality.
March 20, 2025 at 6:48 am in reply to: What are the advantages of using industrial-scale synthetic oil blending solutions? #315936Daniel WalkerMemberIndustrial-scale mixers like the USB 6 Impeller Stirrer support large-volume production, ensuring repeatable quality and reducing operational costs.
March 20, 2025 at 3:15 am in reply to: Why is high-shear mixing technology essential for synthetic oil production? #315922Daniel WalkerMemberHigh-shear mixing ensures proper dispersion of additives, preventing phase separation. The USB 6 Impeller Stirrer provides consistent, stable blending for synthetic lubricants.
Daniel WalkerMemberNitrogen Gas in Transformers: Nitrogen is used during transportation and maintenance to purge moisture and oxygen, preventing oxidation of the oil and reducing the risk of explosive conditions.
Daniel WalkerMemberIn a transformer, PCBs refer to the chemical compounds that were historically used in insulating oils; they are now prohibited and have been replaced with safer alternatives.
Daniel WalkerMemberThe liquid used in transformers is typically a specially refined insulating oil, most commonly a type of mineral oil.
Daniel WalkerMemberTransformer oil is flammable and can catch fire if exposed to high temperatures, ignition sources, or if it degrades due to contamination; proper handling and maintenance reduce these risks.
Daniel WalkerMemberMoisture can be removed from transformer oil using processes such as vacuum dehydration, filtration, or centrifugation. Removing water is critical because moisture can significantly reduce the oil’s dielectric strength and accelerate oxidation.
February 25, 2025 at 10:11 am in reply to: How does the grinding process influence the texture and viscosity of ketchup? #313518Daniel WalkerMemberThe grinding process is crucial for breaking down tomato fibers and creating a uniform emulsion. Using high‐shear equipment like the Colloid Mill GlobeCore, the tomato pulp is finely milled, resulting in a smooth, homogeneous ketchup with ideal viscosity and texture.
February 24, 2025 at 8:38 am in reply to: What maintenance practices are essential for prolonging the lifespan of a bread crumb grinder? #297617Daniel WalkerMemberEssential maintenance practices include regular cleaning, routine inspections of wear parts, lubrication of moving components, and calibration of sensor systems. Following a preventive maintenance schedule helps prolong the grinder’s lifespan and minimizes unexpected downtime during production.
November 28, 2024 at 10:40 am in reply to: How does an OLTC differ from an off-load tap changer? #132233Daniel WalkerMemberOLTCs operate without interrupting the power supply, while off-load tap changers require the transformer to be de-energized for adjustments.
Daniel WalkerMemberComponents include the diverter switch, selector switch, tap selector, transition resistors or reactors, motor drive mechanism, and oil compartment.
November 21, 2024 at 10:31 am in reply to: What are the essential components of bitumen emulsion equipment? #131462Daniel WalkerMemberKey components include a colloid mill, storage tanks for bitumen and emulsifiers, heating systems, dosing pumps, control systems, and agitators. These ensure efficient production, proper mixing, and consistent quality of bitumen emulsions.
November 20, 2024 at 8:52 pm in reply to: What is the impact of incorporating plastic waste into bitumen? #131295Daniel WalkerMemberIncorporating plastic waste into bitumen enhances mechanical properties like increased stiffness and rutting resistance. It reduces environmental impact by recycling plastics, decreasing landfill waste, and lowering the demand for virgin materials. However, proper processing is essential to ensure compatibility and prevent issues like segregation or reduced workability.
November 20, 2024 at 4:45 pm in reply to: How does asphalt emulsion compare to hot mix asphalt? #131253Daniel WalkerMemberAsphalt emulsion is applied at ambient or lower temperatures, reducing energy costs and environmental impact. It is ideal for maintenance and recycling, while hot mix is better suited for heavy-duty, high-traffic pavements.
