GPU-2000: SF6 Tank for Handling, Replacement, and Cleaning
Josh Sizemore | SF6 Gas SolutionsThe level of humidity in SF 6 -insulated switchgear must be kept below its water saturation point. If the gas is too humid, it loses some of its insulating properties; corrosion and dangerous leaks can also occur. A complete SF 6 handling instrument monitors the …
How Humidity Affects a SF6 Gas-Insulated Switchgear
Josh Sizemore | SF6 Gas SolutionsSulfur hexafluoride is the gas most commonly used as insulator in power transmission and distribution switchgear. Water, however, can negatively affect the dielectric capabilities of SF 6 gas. To prevent operational and safety issues, it is important to measure and …
Increasing Refineries’ Bottom Line with Tubeskin Thermocouples for Hydrocrackers
Robert Torgerson | Know-how, TemperatureThere is a direct relationship between tubeskin temperature measurement and hydrocracker performance. Too-high or too-low temperatures can lead to slowdowns, shutdowns, furnace tube failures, and other costly losses. To improve bottom-line performance, refineries need …
