The Reclamation of Used Oils: PART FOUR – INSULATING OILS; CRANKCASE OILS

Abstract

The OILS used in transformers and immersed switchgear fulfil two distinct functions. They are both fluid dielectric and heat transfer medium, and although in some of the larger transformers circulation of the oil is helped by pumps and water coolers, a very large proportion of these units rely on convection alone.
