Novembro 19, 2024 às 7:49 pm em resposta a: What are the best practices for bitumen emulsion storage? #131053Ashley HallMembroStore emulsions at 50–70°C in clean, sealed tanks made of compatible materials. Avoid contamination and agitation that might destabilize the emulsion. Regularly monitor properties like viscosity and pH to ensure long-term stability and usability.
Novembro 19, 2024 às 1:01 pm em resposta a: How does an anionic bitumen emulsion function differently from a cationic one? #131026Ashley HallMembroAnionic bitumen emulsions carry a negative charge on the bitumen droplets, while cationic emulsions carry a positive charge. This difference affects how they interact with aggregates during application. Anionic emulsions are compatible with aggregates that have a positive surface charge, whereas cationic emulsions are suited for negatively charged aggregates. Cationic emulsions tend to break and set faster due to the electrostatic attraction with most aggregates, which are typically negatively charged. The choice between anionic and cationic emulsions depends on the type of aggregate and desired setting time.
Outubro 7, 2024 às 6:36 pm em resposta a: How is gas condensate polishing used in refineries? #123273Ashley HallMembroIn refineries, gas condensate polishing is used to purify the condensate produced during the refining process. This condensate often contains impurities such as dissolved salts, hydrocarbons, and organic contaminants, which must be removed before the water can be reused or safely discharged. Condensate polishing systems in refineries typically use a combination of mechanical filtration, ion exchange resins, and activated carbon to remove these impurities. This process helps protect refinery equipment from fouling and corrosion, improves the quality of the process water, and reduces the environmental impact of wastewater discharge.

Automated systems also monitor the performance of the bleaching agents and filtration systems, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency.
Outubro 7, 2024 às 3:05 pm em resposta a: How does Degassing Hydraulic Oil improve its performance in hydraulic systems? #123152Ashley HallMembroDegassing Hydraulic Oil improves its performance in hydraulic systems by removing dissolved gases that can negatively impact the oil’s properties and system efficiency. Dissolved gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, can form bubbles or foams within the hydraulic fluid, leading to inconsistent lubrication and reduced cooling efficiency. These gas bubbles can cause cavitation in pumps and actuators, resulting in increased wear, noise, and potential component damage. Additionally, the presence of gases can decrease the oil’s dielectric strength, increasing the risk of electrical discharges and insulation failures in hydraulic systems. Degassing processes, such as vacuum treatment or thermal degassing, effectively extract these dissolved gases, restoring the oil’s clarity and consistency. This enhances the hydraulic system’s reliability, reduces wear and tear on components, and improves overall performance by ensuring smooth and efficient fluid flow, consistent lubrication, and optimal cooling, thereby extending the lifespan of the hydraulic machinery.
Outubro 7, 2024 às 6:49 am em resposta a: How do you maintain a condensate polishing system? #122595Ashley HallMembroMaintaining a condensate polishing system involves regular monitoring, resin regeneration, and replacing filters or resin beds when necessary. Periodic testing of condensate quality, including measurements of conductivity and pH, helps assess system performance. The ion exchange resins used in polishing systems can degrade over time, requiring periodic regeneration with appropriate chemicals to restore their effectiveness. Additionally, cleaning or replacing mechanical filters ensures that larger particles are efficiently removed. GlobeCore provides filtration systems that can help maintain condensate polishing system performance by removing impurities, optimizing resin life, and ensuring reliable operation.
Outubro 4, 2024 às 4:19 pm em resposta a: How does silicone oil function as an insulating material in transformers? #122196Ashley HallMembroSilicone oil acts as an insulating material by filling the spaces between conductive components within the transformer, such as windings and cores. Its high dielectric strength prevents electrical currents from passing between these components, thus avoiding short circuits and electrical discharges. Additionally, silicone oil dissipates heat generated during operation, maintaining optimal temperatures and preventing thermal stress on the insulation materials.
Outubro 1, 2024 às 3:27 pm em resposta a: How is traction transformer testing conducted to ensure reliability? #121489Ashley HallMembroTesting involves a combination of electrical, thermal, and mechanical assessments. Electrical tests include insulation resistance measurements, turns ratio tests, and dielectric tests to verify the integrity of windings and insulation. Thermal imaging detects hotspots indicating overheating. Oil analysis identifies contaminants or degradation products. Mechanical tests examine structural components for wear or damage. These tests are performed during commissioning, routine maintenance, and after any significant events to ensure the transformer remains reliable and safe for operation.
Setembro 17, 2024 às 8:14 pm em resposta a: What is the procedure for bushing testing in a transformer? #120050Ashley HallMembroThe procedure for bushing testing in a transformer typically involves several key steps. First, ensure safety by disconnecting power to the transformer and grounding all equipment. Next, using Globecore’s bushing test equipment, perform insulation resistance testing to assess the condition of the bushing insulators. This involves applying a specific DC voltage while measuring the insulation resistance over time to check for moisture or deterioration. After this, carry out a capacitance and power factor test to evaluate the dielectric loss characteristics of the bushing. It’s crucial to correlate these measurements with temperature and humidity conditions. Lastly, document all results thoroughly and compare them with previous tests to track changes over time. Regular bushing test in transformer ensures reliability and helps prevent failures, maintaining optimal performance in industrial applications.
Ashley HallMembroThe power factor test on a transformer is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the insulation system of the transformer by measuring the power factor or dissipation factor of the insulation materials. This test helps to identify issues related to moisture or contamination in the insulation, which can affect the transformer’s efficiency and reliability. When conducted, it typically involves applying a specific voltage and measuring the current in relation to the voltage to determine the power factor. A higher power factor indicates better insulation quality. It’s crucial to carry out regular power factor tests to ensure the transformer operates efficiently and to prevent unexpected failures. For enhanced diagnostic capabilities, using high-quality equipment like those offered by Globecore can provide accurate insights into the transformer’s condition. Additionally, when related to open circuit test on a transformer, understanding the power factor can help assess the transformer’s performance while in operation, ensuring optimal functionality.
Setembro 14, 2024 às 6:52 am em resposta a: What is the procedure for regeneration of zeolite bed? #119762Ashley HallMembroThe procedure for regenerating a zeolite bed typically involves the following steps:
Depressurization (if used in PSA systems): Reduce the pressure within the zeolite bed to release the adsorbed gases (such as nitrogen in oxygen concentrators).
Backwashing (for water filtration): If the zeolite is used in water treatment, perform a backwash with clean water to remove accumulated particles and debris.
Chemical Treatment (if used for ion exchange): In cases of ion-exchange zeolites, such as those used for softening or ammonia removal, regenerate the bed by flushing it with a solution like sodium chloride (NaCl) to displace the adsorbed ions.
Heating (optional): For systems where moisture or volatile organic compounds are present, heat the zeolite bed to a temperature of 150°C to 300°C to desorb contaminants.
Rinsing: After chemical regeneration or backwashing, rinse the zeolite bed thoroughly to remove any excess chemicals or impurities.
Repressurization: If the system uses PSA or similar processes, repressurize the zeolite bed to its operating pressure to resume adsorption.
These steps ensure that the zeolite bed is restored to its functional state, ready for continued adsorption. -
