    Zeolite drying technology in dishwashers uses zeolite minerals to adsorb moisture from the air inside the dishwasher during the drying cycle. When the wash cycle ends, zeolite absorbs water vapor from the dishwasher’s interior. As the zeolite absorbs moisture, it releases heat, which accelerates the drying process and helps evaporate residual water on the dishes. This creates an energy-efficient drying method without the need for additional heating elements, resulting in faster and more effective drying with reduced energy consumption.

    The purpose of oil in a transformer is to provide electrical insulation, dissipate heat generated during operation, and prevent the formation of sludge by inhibiting oxidation and moisture retention. Oil acts as a coolant, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures and improve the efficiency and reliability of the transformer. Additionally, it serves as a barrier against contaminants, ensuring the longevity and safe functioning of the transformer.

    in reply to: What is the dielectric strength of transformer oil in kV/mm? #118962

    Member

    The dielectric strength of transformer oil in atmosphere typically ranges from 20 to 30 kV/mm, depending on the specific formulation and condition of the oil. It is essential to regularly test transformer oil using devices such as Globecore’s oil dielectric strength tester to ensure it meets the necessary safety standards and performance requirements, as the dielectric strength can be influenced by factors like contamination, moisture, and degradation over time. Consistent monitoring helps maintain the reliability and efficiency of transformers in industrial applications.

    in reply to: What is the procedure for BDV testing? #118821

    The procedure for BDV testing involves several key steps to ensure accurate measurement of the breakdown voltage of insulating oils. First, prepare the sample by filtering it to remove any impurities or particulates. Next, fill the testing cell with the oil sample, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Then, connect the testing apparatus and set the required voltage increment, typically starting at a low value and increasing until the breakdown occurs. Monitor the voltage closely as it rises, and when the oil breaks down, record the voltage at which this occurs. It’s essential to conduct the test according to ASTM D1816 or IEC 60156 standards for consistency and reliability. Proper calibration of the equipment is also crucial before testing. Using reputable bdv tester manufacturers ensures that the equipment adheres to industry standards for performance and accuracy.
