    Gassing Tendency of Oil

    Uploaded by

    Y V JOSHI
    Gassing tendency in transformer oil refers to an oil's ability to absorb or release gases. The gassing tendency is influenced by factors like the oil's composition, temperature, and aromatic content. Oils with a positive gassing tendency will release gases, which is desirable for power transformers, while oils with a negative gassing tendency will absorb gases, making them suitable for instrument transformers. The document discusses how parameters like paraffin content, naphtha content, and aromatic content determine an oil's gassing tendency. It also provides a case study comparing the gassing tendencies of different transformer oils. The conclusion is that gassing tendency is an important characteristic to consider when selecting transformer oil.

    The various data collected from various manufacturers is studied in one of biddings in GETCO and put up for reference.

    From above, it can be derived that 1) According to content of paraffin or naphtha the final product is called as paraffinic based or naphthanic base oils. 2) Gassing tendency is controlled by aromatic content in oil. For lower aromatic content, transformer oil will be of positive gassing tendency. 3) Increasing aromatic content beyond certain level, the gassing tendency changes from evolving nature to absorbing. 4) Positive gassing tendency is possible in both paraffin and naphtha based oil.

    CONCLUSION:
    It is required to consider gassing tendency as one of the major characteristic while selecting oil. For power transformers, oil with positive gassing tendency is desirable. Limit for positive gassing tendency may be adopted between 0 and 5 mm3/min. For instrument transformers oil with negative gassing tendency may be used. To balance the parameters like oxidation stability & gassing tendency the aromatic contents have to be maintained at certain level during refining process, otherwise neutralization value and sludge formation will be more with ageing of oil.
