Enhanced Cooling of Oil Based Transformers and Other Heat Generating Equipment with NanoParticle Suspensions
Description
Nanometer-sized, low-cost, readily available, particulate nanodiamond is used as an additive to the mineral oil used in electrical power transformers and other oil-cooled electrical equipment to enhance the thermal conductivity [TC] and dielectric properties of the oil without compromising the oil’s required electrical insulation, such that failures are suppressed, oil life is greatly extended and load boundaries are elevated. This could extend transformer life and allow increases to transformer MVA ratings.Supplemental Documents
