Features: There are various types of insulating and lubricating media used in power systems, such as insulating oil, insulating gas, turbine oil, fire-resistant turbine oil, mechanical oil, lubricating grease, cable oil, and so on. However, the ones with the largest volume and the most direct impact on power generation and supply equipment are insulating oil and turbine oil. They are like the blood of machines—without these oils, power generation and supply equipment cannot be put into production. The focus of this book is precisely on discussing the performance and maintenance of insulating oil and turbine oil.
The oils used in power systems not only come in many varieties and large quantities but also require strict quality standards, otherwise, they cannot fulfill their intended functions. This book systematically introduces the classification, chemical composition, refining processes, physicochemical and electrical properties, specifications, maintenance management, supervision methods, purification and regeneration, and testing methods of insulating oil, turbine oil, sulfur hexafluoride (SF?) insulating gas, ultra-high-voltage insulating oil, and fire-resistant turbine oil, among others, based on fundamental theories and practical production realities.
The book also explores the new technical challenges in oil usage brought about by the recent introduction of high-voltage, high-capacity, and high-parameter equipment in the power industry and proposes some solutions.
