A colloid mill can reduce and smooth pre-hydrated oat solids in a spread, but it won’t realistically replace a chocolate refiner/ball mill/3-roll if you need true «chocolate-smooth» fineness. In practice for your mix (oats + date juice + cocoa + hazelnuts + cocoa butter), a rotor-stator colloid mill typically delivers a stable, creamy texture in the tens of microns, and ~20-50 µm is a realistic range after good pre-milling + recirculation. Getting <10-15 µm across the bulk is usually not practical with a colloid mill alone, especially with fibrous oat particles and a high-viscosity fat phase-heat build-up and fiber limits become the bottleneck. If your target is the "premium chocolate spread" mouthfeel (often perceived when most particles are <25-30 µm, and many products aim lower), consider: pre-hydrating oats, using the colloid mill as a pre-refiner, then finishing with a ball mill or chocolate refiner; or skip the oats grind by using oat flour/enzymatically treated oats so you're not trying to micronize fiber.
enero 27, 2026 a las 5:43 pm en respuesta a: Efficiency of power transformer when maximum transfer of power occurs is? #332293Pasquale ScarponiMiembroMaximum power transfer occurs at ~50% efficiency theoretically but grids prioritize high efficiency, not max transfer.
Pasquale ScarponiMiembroA step-up transformer increases voltage but does not increase total power. As voltage increases, current decreases so that real power remains approximately constant, minus losses. Utilities use step-up transformers at power plants to raise voltage for long-distance transmission, reducing I²R losses in conductors.
Pasquale ScarponiMiembroPower transformers are identified by their physical size, nameplate data, voltage class, cooling method and application context in the grid. The nameplate typically lists kVA or MVA rating, primary and secondary voltages, vector group, frequency, impedance percentage, cooling designation (ONAN, ONAF, OFAF, etc), serial number, insulation class, and standards compliance (IEC, IEEE, or ANSI). Visual inspection reveals bushings, radiators, OLTC compartments, conservator tanks and cooling fans. In substations, power transformers are usually installed on concrete pads with HV and MV connections routed through bushings to switchgear or transmission lines.
enero 26, 2026 a las 2:07 am en respuesta a: How does a blown transformer cause a power outage? #331953Pasquale ScarponiMiembroWhen faults such as winding failure, bushing flashover, or oil ignition occur, protective relays trip breakers to isolate the transformer. This removes sections of the network, causing outages until repairs or switching restore service.
enero 25, 2026 a las 12:56 am en respuesta a: Why are surplus power transformers used in industrial procurement? #331763Pasquale ScarponiMiembroSurplus transformers offer shorter lead times, lower capital cost, and rapid deployment for expansions, temporary substations, or emergency replacements. Industrial buyers evaluate nameplate ratings, impedance, vector group, DGA history, oil tests, and refurbishment records to ensure suitability. Surplus procurement is common when OEM lead times exceed 9-18 months for large units.
enero 24, 2026 a las 9:51 pm en respuesta a: How should a power transformer be stored to maintain insulation integrity? #331739Pasquale ScarponiMiembroStorage requires dry, temperature-controlled conditions, sealed nitrogen or oil-filled tanks, periodic desiccant checks, and preservation of bushings and gaskets to prevent moisture ingress.
Pasquale ScarponiMiembroReverse power flow occurs when distributed generation feeds energy back through distribution transformers toward the grid. It affects tap control, protection settings and thermal limits and requires bidirectional capability.
enero 22, 2026 a las 10:14 pm en respuesta a: What winding configurations are used in power transformers? #331343Pasquale ScarponiMiembroLayer, disc, helical, and continuous windings; primary/secondary arranged for insulation and fault withstand.
enero 22, 2026 a las 9:34 am en respuesta a: What does power transformer software calculate or monitor? #331224Pasquale ScarponiMiembroIt performs design, rating, thermal modeling, lifetime estimation, or real-time monitoring such as DGA, PD, load profiling, and hotspot temperature prediction.
enero 21, 2026 a las 1:54 am en respuesta a: Which standards guide power transformer manufacture for grid infrastructures? #330745Pasquale ScarponiMiembroGrid transformers are primarily designed and tested according to IEC 60076 series (IEC markets) or IEEE/ANSI C57 series (North America). Additional standards include ISO quality frameworks, environmental regulations, regional grid codes, and utility-specific specifications for seismic, overload, sound level, efficiency, and monitoring. Compliance ensures interchangeability, safety, dielectric coordination, thermal limits, and performance under short-circuit and transient conditions typical of transmission and distribution systems.
enero 20, 2026 a las 10:51 pm en respuesta a: Where is all the data from the TOR-5 online monitoring system stored – on a local server or in the cloud? #330702Pasquale ScarponiMiembroIn typical installations, TOR-5 stores data locally first, on its own controller or on a plant server, and only then optionally synchronizes it to a central server or cloud. This architecture is chosen for reliability: even if the network or internet connection is lost, all measurements continue and are buffered locally. Whether data are sent to the cloud depends on the customer’s IT policy and configuration. Many utilities prefer on-premise servers for cybersecurity reasons, while others use cloud platforms for remote access and fleet-level analysis.
enero 19, 2026 a las 7:46 pm en respuesta a: What is the purpose of power transformer bushings? #330396Pasquale ScarponiMiembroBushings provide insulated current-carrying pathways from internal windings to external connections, preventing surface tracking and flashover at high voltage.
