September 9, 2025 at 10:29 am in reply to: What is breakdown voltage test of transformer oil? #324886Daniel WalkerMember
It measures how much voltage oil can withstand before breaking down. If BDV is low, GlobeCore systems regenerate oil, ensuring stable insulation and high safety margin during transformer operation.
August 6, 2025 at 3:50 am in reply to: How is Turbo T 68 oil serviced for heavy-duty turbines? #324054Daniel WalkerMemberTurbo T 68 is a high-viscosity lubricant used in steam and gas turbines under high-load conditions. GlobeCore regeneration plants filter and degas T 68 oils, ensuring reliable lubrication and cooling.
Daniel WalkerMemberShell Turbo T 100 is a heavy-duty turbine lubricant for large steam and gas turbines. GlobeCore purification plants degas and stabilize Turbo T 100, ensuring its thermal and lubricating properties remain intact.
Daniel WalkerMemberThe best turbine oil depends on the engine type, but synthetic ester-based oils like AeroShell 560 and BP 2380 are preferred for their thermal stability. GlobeCore purification systems help extend their performance cycles.
Daniel WalkerMemberShell Turbo T32 is a light-viscosity mineral turbine oil for industrial gas and steam turbines. GlobeCore regeneration plants keep T32 oils free from water and contaminants, preserving viscosity and oxidation stability.
Daniel WalkerMemberTransformer oil, especially mineral types, can cause irritation or dermatitis with prolonged contact and should be avoided on skin. GlobeCore regeneration systems minimize contamination in oils, but protective gear is always recommended.
Daniel WalkerMemberRaj transformer oil is designed for reliable insulation and cooling in power distribution and high-voltage transformers. GlobeCore treatment plants remove water, gases, and sludge from Raj oils, maintaining their dielectric strength.
August 1, 2025 at 3:26 pm in reply to: What is an oil immersed distribution transformer and how is it serviced? #323376Daniel WalkerMemberAn oil immersed distribution transformer cools and insulates its windings with mineral or ester oils, common in local power grids. GlobeCore regeneration systems restore the oil’s properties, reducing failures and extending service intervals.
August 1, 2025 at 9:06 am in reply to: Why are oil-based transformers still widely used and how are they serviced? #323324Daniel WalkerMemberOil-based transformers are preferred for high power ratings and outdoor use due to superior cooling efficiency and cost-effectiveness. GlobeCore treatment plants keep their insulating oils clean and dry, extending transformer life and reducing maintenance costs.
August 1, 2025 at 1:06 am in reply to: What mineral oil is used in transformers and how is it maintained? #323276Daniel WalkerMemberTransformers use refined naphthenic or paraffinic mineral oils for cooling and insulation. GlobeCore treatment plants regenerate these oils by removing moisture, acids, and sludge, keeping them IEC-compliant.
Daniel WalkerMemberTransformer 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.
