What Is A Lube Oil Purification System? from luis huang's blog

A lube oil purifier helps to keep a transformer cool. But, after continuous usages, the oil loses its dielectric properties. Then, you just can’t use the oil.

If you are going to waste this oil, then you may have to buy gallons of oils. Hence, you should use a transformer oil purification system.

If you are going to waste this oil, then you may have to buy gallons of oils. Hence, you should use a transformer oil purification system.

This oil recycling system can separate all the impurities from the used oil. Then, through a chemical process, you can get fresh oil. This system can restore almost 90% of your used transformer oil.

As a result, you don’t have to buy gallons of oil. You can purify your transformer oil and you can use the oil in your transformer.

How To Use A Transformer Oil Recycle Purification System?

Step One – Assess The Degradation Level

Waste Oil Recycling System

The first step is to assess the condition of your used oil. Used oil can have different levels of viscosity, acidity, and sludge. Apart from that dielectric strength, flash point, dissipation factor, and water content are also there.

Hence, you have to test your used transformer oil. After testing, you can know the exact degradation level of your oil. Sulfur, interfacial tension, and breakdown voltage tests can tell you everything about your transformer oil.

To improve the effect of regeneration of the transformer oil, it is heated to s desired temperature. It enters the equipment for its back section after it is heated effectively. Through the back section of the machine containing sorbent media and columns, the oil is pumped. In this part of the machine, all the by-products and impurities affecting the quality of the transformer oil are removed. Now the oil has to enter the degassing section of the equipment through a vacuum breaking valve to remove gasses and water from it. Then a pump on the outlet of the equipment pumps the treated oil back to the tan of transformer oil. The sorbent in the back section of the equipment gets fully saturated after some time as it cannot generate any oil now. To enable the sorbent to generate oil again you will have to restore its original state or reactivate it.
