Study of Heating Device for Sulfur Hexafluoride Gasification
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas has been used to gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) because of its insulation properties and extinguishing characteristics. The processing of liquid sulfur hexafluoride from cylinders into GIS is endothermic. The processing gas inflation always leads to decrease SF6 gas inflation speed due to the lack of heat supplement and the infiltrated moisture will stick on the GIS equipment, especially at the valve outlet. In the paper, a heater detection device for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) steel cylinder is developed. The new heater device will monitor and display the specific temperature and humidity of the valve outlet instantaneously and then heat and dry the sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) steel cylinder with automatic and stability. Then it helps to speed up the sulfur hexafluoride gasification. Meanwhile, the whole device is portable in safety.
