Refinery processing determines the chemistry of the base oils used in transformer oils. Increasing the severity of the processing leads to a more stable base oil. Performance additives can modify the chemistry of the system and potentially lead to unintended consequences. This study examines how processing differences and additives affect the generation of stray gasses at low temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
