    Transformer oil degradation occurs due to thermal stress, oxidation, moisture ingress, and contamination over time. High operating temperatures accelerate chemical reactions that break down oil molecules, forming acids and sludge. Exposure to oxygen and moisture further promotes degradation. To prevent this, maintain proper cooling to manage temperatures, use sealed or conservator systems to limit exposure to air and moisture, and implement regular oil testing and maintenance. Oil purification and regeneration processes can remove contaminants and restore oil quality, extending the transformer’s life.

    Purification systems typically operate by:

    Heating: Oil is heated to reduce viscosity, enhancing purification efficiency.
    Vacuum Dehydration: Removes moisture and dissolved gases under reduced pressure.
    Filtration: Multi-stage filters capture particles of varying sizes.
    Degassing: Eliminates air and gases that reduce dielectric strength.
    Adsorption: Uses materials like activated alumina to remove acids and polar contaminants.
    The purified oil is then returned to the cable system, restoring its insulating and cooling properties.

    Zeolite acts as a molecular sieve in an oxygen concentrator, playing a crucial role in separating oxygen from other gases in the air. Its unique crystalline structure with micropores selectively adsorbs nitrogen when air is passed through under pressure. This selective adsorption increases the concentration of oxygen in the remaining gas stream. The zeolite’s ability to adsorb and release nitrogen efficiently is the cornerstone of the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology commonly used in oxygen concentrators. Without zeolite, the concentrator would not be able to provide a high-purity oxygen supply needed for medical or industrial applications.

    A zeolite oxygen concentrator is a device that extracts oxygen from ambient air using zeolite minerals as a molecular sieve. The concentrator draws in air and passes it through zeolite pellets, which selectively adsorb nitrogen due to their porous structure and chemical properties. This process enriches the remaining gas with a higher concentration of oxygen, typically around 90-95%. The technology operates on the principle of pressure swing adsorption (PSA), where pressure changes facilitate the adsorption and desorption of gases. Zeolite oxygen concentrators are commonly used in medical settings for oxygen therapy, as well as in industrial applications requiring high-purity oxygen.
