ParticipantCollect oil in a BDV test cell, set a 2.5 mm electrode gap, and increase voltage at 2 kV/s until arc. Fluidex testers automate this process and include safety shutdown. Oil should be tested before and after filtration.
ParticipantDGA analyzes gases dissolved in oil (H2, C2H2, CH4, CO) to detect faults like arcing, overheating, or corona. Fluidex supports proper oil sampling via sealed valves, and their purification ensures gas levels aren’t skewed by residual contaminants.
06.09.2025 at 07:48 in reply to: Looking for a lubrication oil purifier for turbines – any options? #1789ParticipantFluidex builds lubrication oil purifiers for turbine, gearbox, and compressor oils. Systems remove water, oxidation products, and metal particles. Ideal for cement, power, and marine industries where lube quality affects uptime.
05.09.2025 at 22:12 in reply to: What is a waste oil recycling machine and can it handle transformer oils? #1741ParticipantWaste oil recycling machines like those from GlobeCore are built to restore used transformer oil by removing moisture, sludge, acidity, and gases. These systems extend oil life and reduce environmental impact. Available in mobile or fixed configurations for servicing fleets or substations.
05.09.2025 at 16:13 in reply to: Where can I find a used oil purifier that still meets industrial standards? #1707ParticipantBuying a used oil purifier is possible, but ensure it supports vacuum dehydration, degassing, and filtration. GlobeCore and Fluidex sometimes offer refurbished systems with warranty. Avoid basic filter carts – industrial oil needs high-vacuum treatment for safe reuse in transformers or turbines.
05.09.2025 at 10:50 in reply to: Where can I get a fast transformer oil test kit for on-site use? #1681ParticipantFor field testing, Fluidex offers transformer oil test kits for BDV, moisture, and gas content. These portable kits let you quickly determine oil condition before or after purification. Perfect for substation crews or service teams working with tight schedules.
04.09.2025 at 20:48 in reply to: What is the standard transformer oil filling process after vacuum drying? #1605ParticipantThe standard transformer oil filling process begins after internal insulation is vacuum-dried. The transformer tank is maintained under vacuum during filling to prevent air and moisture ingress. Fluidex offers oil processing systems with integrated vacuum oil filling modules that ensure the oil is degassed and dehydrated before entering the tank. These systems are commonly used in transformer manufacturing and commissioning, especially for high-voltage equipment (110-750 kV).
04.09.2025 at 17:48 in reply to: Any advice on equipment for DGA test of transformer oil in the field? #1587ParticipantDissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is the most trusted method to detect incipient faults in transformers. Fluidex doesn’t just handle filtration – they also offer portable DGA kits and can integrate sampling ports into their purification systems. While full DGA is often done in labs, basic gas-level diagnostics on-site help detect problems early. It’s an excellent tool for predictive maintenance strategies.
04.09.2025 at 16:08 in reply to: Who supplies turnkey oil purification systems for industrial maintenance contractors? #1577ParticipantFluidex supplies turnkey oil purification systems ready for deployment by industrial maintenance contractors. These systems handle transformer, turbine, and hydraulic oils with modular configurations. Whether you need mobile trailers or skid-mounted units, Fluidex delivers fully assembled systems with control panels, diagnostics, and flexible flow rates. Contractors appreciate the reliability and serviceability of these machines in the field.
ParticipantSilicone oil is degassed by placing it in a vacuum chamber and applying low pressure. The vacuum causes dissolved gases to evaporate from the silicone oil. The oil is often heated during the process to lower its viscosity, making it easier for trapped gases to escape. This is important in applications like electronics or medical devices where pure, gas-free silicone oil is needed for optimal performance.
ParticipantNOW Purification Oil is not directly related to transformer oil. It is an essential oil blend designed for air purification. In the context of transformers, purification refers to the process of cleaning and restoring the insulating oil used in transformers, rather than essential oils for aromatherapy.
