November 28, 2024 at 2:34 pm in reply to: What is the efficiency of circuit breaker oil filtration? #132282Laura SchmidtMember
The efficiency depends on the equipment used. High-quality systems can remove over 99% of solid particles, moisture, and gases, significantly improving oil quality and performance.
Laura SchmidtMemberReconditioning involves restoring oil properties by filtering impurities, removing moisture, and neutralizing acids. It may also include adding antioxidants or inhibitors to extend oil life.
November 28, 2024 at 4:46 am in reply to: What is the thermal stability of natural ester oil? #132117Laura SchmidtMemberIt maintains effective insulation and cooling under high temperatures, ensuring transformer reliability.
November 28, 2024 at 12:19 am in reply to: What are the applications of marine transformers in shipping? #132099Laura SchmidtMemberApplications include power distribution, propulsion, navigation, HVAC systems, and auxiliary power for equipment like lighting and communication systems. Marine transformers ensure safe and efficient power transfer across all shipboard systems.
November 27, 2024 at 8:32 pm in reply to: What types of marine transformers are used for offshore platforms? #132069Laura SchmidtMemberTypes include step-up transformers for connecting wind turbines to grids, distribution transformers for platform systems, and specialized units with explosion-proof designs to handle hazardous offshore environments like oil rigs.
November 27, 2024 at 8:07 pm in reply to: How are marine transformers used in renewable energy applications? #132065Laura SchmidtMemberMarine transformers connect renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind farms, to power grids or onboard systems. They step up or step down voltage, manage power distribution, and ensure efficient and safe energy transfer in marine environments.
Laura SchmidtMemberTanks should have proper sealing, temperature control, and durable construction. GlobeCore designs tanks optimized for these features.
November 21, 2024 at 3:14 pm in reply to: How do emulsifier dosing units work in bitumen emulsion equipment? #131516Laura SchmidtMemberDosing units precisely measure and add emulsifiers to the mixture, maintaining proper ratios for stability. Automated dosing ensures accuracy and reduces manual errors in production.
November 21, 2024 at 2:09 am in reply to: Why is setting time critical in asphalt emulsion applications? #131351Laura SchmidtMemberSetting time determines how quickly the emulsion cures and binds aggregates. Short setting times are essential for high-traffic areas, while longer times allow for better mixing in cold applications.
November 20, 2024 at 2:28 pm in reply to: What is elastic recovery, and how does it relate to bitumen performance? #131229Laura SchmidtMemberElastic recovery is the ability of bitumen to return to its original shape after deformation. It indicates the binder’s elasticity. High elastic recovery means the bitumen can better withstand traffic loads without permanent deformation, enhancing resistance to rutting and extending pavement life.
October 8, 2024 at 5:27 am in reply to: How does Midel oil contribute to extending transformer life? #123438Laura SchmidtMemberMidel oil extends transformer life by offering superior thermal stability, fire resistance, and moisture tolerance. These properties reduce the likelihood of insulation breakdown, overheating, and corrosion, ensuring that transformers can operate reliably for longer periods with less maintenance.
October 7, 2024 at 5:21 pm in reply to: What is the role of condensate polishing in combined cycle power plants? #123241Laura SchmidtMemberIn combined cycle power plants, condensate polishing plays a crucial role in ensuring that the water used in the steam cycle is free of impurities. Combined cycle plants operate by utilizing both gas and steam turbines, and the condensate returned from the steam cycle must be of high purity to prevent scaling and corrosion in the equipment. Condensate polishing systems remove dissolved salts, silica, and other contaminants from the condensate, protecting the boilers and turbines. This not only improves the efficiency of the plant but also extends the lifespan of critical components.
October 7, 2024 at 3:34 pm in reply to: How are oil impurities removed through the bleaching process? #123177Laura SchmidtMemberOil impurities are removed during bleaching by adsorbing them onto the surface of bleaching agents like bleaching clay or activated carbon. These adsorbents trap color pigments, trace metals, and organic compounds, which are then filtered out of the oil, leaving a clearer and purer final product.
October 7, 2024 at 2:28 pm in reply to: What is the capacity of typical diesel polishing units? #123122Laura SchmidtMemberThe capacity of diesel polishing units varies depending on the system, but most commercial units can handle fuel flow rates ranging from 10 to 100 gallons per minute (GPM) or higher. Larger systems are available for industrial and marine applications, capable of polishing thousands of gallons per hour.
