Hydrocarbons in transformer oil
7 Oct 2015 Effect of Transformer Oil and Petroleum Hydrocarbons on PCB Screening (DTR- 14-03). 1. ABSTRACT A study was conducted to determine the Mixing high fire-point liquids with lower fire point hydrocarbon insulating oils (for example, Specification D3487 mineral oil) may result in fire points of less than Paraffin-based transformer oil: Paraffin oil gets less oxidized than Naphtha oil. Paraffin is less soluble than Naphtha oil. The sludge of Paraffin oil does not precipitate at the bottom of the oil tank and disturb the transformer cooling system. The use of Paraffin oil is more in India because of
