    The DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) test for transformer oil measures the concentrations of various dissolved gases to detect incipient faults, overheating, or other issues within the transformer.

    in reply to: which oil is used in transformer for cooling purpose? #314775
    Jane Smith
    Member

    For cooling purposes, transformer oil must combine high dielectric strength with good thermal conductivity. Refined mineral oil is predominantly used because it efficiently transfers heat away from critical components while also maintaining robust electrical insulation.

    in reply to: what is density of transformer oil? #314765
    Jane Smith
    Member

    The density of transformer oil typically ranges from about 0.85 to 0.90 g/cm³ at room temperature, although slight variations may occur depending on its specific formulation and any additives used.

    Moisture content is crucial—too much moisture can lead to clumping, reduced milling efficiency, and microbial risks, while overly dry nibs may lead to dust issues and suboptimal flavor extraction. Precise pre-drying and monitoring ensure that nibs are within the optimal moisture range before milling, allowing systems like GlobeCore Colloid Mills to operate efficiently.

    TGA 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.

    Asphalt 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.

    in reply to: What is an asphalt emulsion fog seal and how does it work? #131318
    Jane Smith
    Member

    A 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.

    in reply to: How do you regenerate silica gel in an oven? #123661
    Jane Smith
    Member

    To 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.

    Filtration 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.

    Wind 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.

    in reply to: How is oil bleaching applied in palm oil production? #122912
    Jane Smith
    Member

    In 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.

    in reply to: How is condensate polishing used in steam turbines? #122802
    Jane Smith
    Member

    Condensate 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.

    Automated 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.

    in reply to: What is the role of condensate polishing in power plants? #122645
    Jane Smith
    Member

    In 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.
