Materials like polymers, fibers, and geosynthetics are ideal for asphalt reinforcement. They enhance strength, flexibility, and load-bearing capacity. GlobeCore equipment facilitates the integration of reinforcement materials into bitumen, ensuring high-quality, long-lasting asphalt products.
Jane SmithMemberBenefits include improved transformer safety, reduced fire risk, environmental sustainability, and extended transformer life.
Jane SmithMemberFR3 oil provides high efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability for large grid transformers.
November 27, 2024 at 7:55 am in reply to: What are the requirements for transformer oil storage? #131867Jane SmithMemberRequirements include contamination prevention, proper sealing, and compliance with safety standards. GlobeCore storage tanks meet all these criteria.
November 21, 2024 at 5:23 am in reply to: What does thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) reveal about bitumen stability? #131385Jane SmithMemberTGA measures the weight loss of bitumen as it is heated, providing information on thermal stability and composition. It reveals the temperatures at which components volatilize or decompose, indicating the presence of volatile compounds and the thermal degradation behavior. TGA helps assess the effects of aging, additives, and predict the binder’s performance at high temperatures.
November 21, 2024 at 3:43 am in reply to: Why is asphalt emulsion a popular choice in road construction? #131367Jane SmithMemberAsphalt emulsion is eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and versatile. It eliminates the need for high-temperature applications, reduces emissions, and is compatible with recycling processes, making it a sustainable choice.
November 20, 2024 at 11:01 pm in reply to: What is an asphalt emulsion fog seal and how does it work? #131318Jane SmithMemberA fog seal is a light application of diluted asphalt emulsion sprayed over the surface. It rejuvenates aged asphalt, seals minor cracks, and enhances surface appearance and durability.
Jane SmithMemberTo regenerate silica gel in an oven, spread the gel evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring a thin layer for uniform heating. Preheat the oven to 120-150°C and place the tray inside for about 2-3 hours. Monitor the process periodically to avoid overheating. The silica gel will change color, indicating moisture removal. For commercial needs, GlobeCore’s equipment automates this process, offering precise temperature control and ensuring the silica gel is evenly heated, thus making it ready for reuse with minimal effort.
October 7, 2024 at 3:05 pm in reply to: How does filtration work in conjunction with oil bleaching? #123154Jane SmithMemberFiltration in oil bleaching is used to remove the spent adsorbents (bleaching earth or activated carbon) and the impurities they have absorbed. After the bleaching process, the oil passes through a filter press or centrifuge, which separates the solid adsorbents from the purified oil.
October 7, 2024 at 1:20 pm in reply to: How is wind turbine transformer oil quality monitored over time? #123056Jane SmithMemberWind turbine transformer oil quality is monitored over time through regular testing of parameters such as moisture content, gas levels, dielectric strength, acidity, and particle contamination. Laboratory analysis and on-site testing equipment provide real-time data on oil health, allowing for timely interventions like filtration, degassing, or oil regeneration to maintain oil quality.
October 7, 2024 at 11:18 am in reply to: How is oil bleaching applied in palm oil production? #122912Jane SmithMemberIn palm oil production, bleaching is a key refining step to improve the color and remove impurities such as carotenoids, chlorophyll, and trace metals. Bleaching earth is mixed with the crude palm oil at elevated temperatures, and the oil is then filtered to remove the adsorbents and impurities, resulting in a clearer, higher-quality oil.
October 7, 2024 at 10:11 am in reply to: How is condensate polishing used in steam turbines? #122802Jane SmithMemberCondensate polishing in steam turbines is essential for maintaining the purity of the condensate used in the turbine’s steam cycle. Impurities such as dissolved salts, silica, and corrosion products can accumulate in the condensate and cause damage to the turbine blades, reducing efficiency and lifespan. By using a condensate polishing system, these impurities are removed before the water is returned to the boiler, protecting the steam turbine from scaling and corrosion. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the polishing system are critical to ensuring that the steam cycle remains efficient and reliable.
October 7, 2024 at 8:06 am in reply to: How do automated diesel fuel polishing systems improve efficiency? #122670Jane SmithMemberAutomated diesel fuel polishing systems improve efficiency by continuously monitoring fuel quality and adjusting the filtration process as needed. Sensors detect contamination levels and activate the system when necessary, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistent fuel polishing.
October 7, 2024 at 7:40 am in reply to: What is the role of condensate polishing in power plants? #122645Jane SmithMemberIn power plants, condensate polishing plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of equipment by purifying the condensate used in steam cycles. As steam is condensed and returned to the boiler, it can carry impurities such as dissolved salts, corrosion products, and suspended solids. These impurities can cause scaling, corrosion, and fouling of boiler and turbine components. By using condensate polishing systems, power plants remove these impurities, ensuring the condensate is clean and suitable for reuse, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the steam cycle.
October 5, 2024 at 8:27 am in reply to: What are the best practices for handling transformer fluids when using silicone oil? #122423Jane SmithMemberWhen handling silicone transformer oil, it’s essential to prevent contamination by using clean equipment and containers. Personnel should wear appropriate protective gear to avoid skin and eye contact, even though silicone oil is generally non-toxic. It’s important to minimize the oil’s exposure to moisture and air by keeping containers sealed and avoiding unnecessary agitation. Ensuring compatibility of all materials that come into contact with the oil prevents chemical reactions that could degrade its properties. Proper storage conditions, such as maintaining a stable temperature and protecting from direct sunlight, also help preserve oil quality.
