Transformer oil filling

The term “transformer oil filling”, as it is used in this article, has two meanings. The first is the process that compensates for the loss of oil in the course of transformer operation. The second is filling a transformer with oil before commissioning or after an overhaul. Oil is an essential part of the transformer.Read More

Oil Clarification Systems

Insulating Oil Clarification Systems

Insulation oil is a general term for industrial oils used in high voltage systems. This groups includes transformer, capacitor and cable oils. This article looks into the features of such oils and insulating oil clarification systems. Transformer oil is widely used in modern transformers as an insulation and heat dissipation medium. It also protects celluloseRead More

No less important for proper maintenance is to know more about wind turbine gearbox types and designs. Wind TurbineRead More

turbine oil system

Wind Turbine Oil System

Wind turbine oil system provides lubrication for the inner parts of the turbine, which is very important for the safety and efficiency of the unit. It is clearly understandable that condition of the oil in the system is crucial as well. To keep wind power plant systems safe and clean, manufacturers must maintain them properlyRead More

Wind Turbine Gearbox

Wind Turbine Gearbox Maintenance

Wind turbine is a large and complex machine that  produces electricity. Of course, its efficiency depends on the conditions of its components. One of the most important parts is the wind turbine gearbox. If any of the windmill inner parts wears out quickly, it causes financial losses and even danger of total turbine failure. That’sRead More

Transformer oil recovery

Transformer oil recovery

Transformer oil recovery is a powerful tool in combating waste pollution. A staggering amount of waste oil is generated in the world each year. Unfortunately, a lot of countries have yet to formulate sound policies in handling this type of waste, therefore much oil is spilled into the ground or water bodies, causing irreparable harmRead More

Oil Refining Machine

Transformer Oil Refining Machine CMM-0.6

A Transformer Oil Refining Machine is a device that can make aged oil as good as new. Why is oil refining useful and important? During operation of a transformer, oil undergoes profound changes, usually referred to as “aging”. With this aging, there are changes in the chemical and electrophysical parameters of the oil. Its electricalRead More

Wind Farm Service

A wind farm is a group of windmills, located in one area, to produce a large amount of electricity. Since wind farms may consist of dozens or even hundreds of mills, their maintenance is a complicated and expensive business. That is why wind farm service requires optimal, reliable techniques, which will make all the operationsRead More
