How does the oil in oil-immersed power transformers clean itself?
The self-cleaning mechanism of transformer oil is typically achieved through the following methods: Oil Purifier FiltrationOil purifiers are common purification devices in transformers, filled with adsorbents such as silica gel or activated alumina. During transformer operation, convection caused by oil temperature changes drives the oil to flow downward through the purifier. Moisture, acidic substances, and oxidation byproducts in the oil are absorbed by the adsorbent, thereby maintaining oil c
