Abstract:
An electrical apparatus (10) for electrical energy handling comprises a housing (12) with at least one insulation space (16), in which an electrical component (14) is arranged and which contains an insulation medium (22) surrounding the electrical component (14). The insulation medium (22) comprises an organofluorine compound and at least one further gaseous component. Apparatus (10) further comprises a gas flow generating device (24) for flowing an initial gas mixture, containing the organofluorine compound and at least one further component of the insulation medium, out of the insulation space (16) through an outlet opening (26) arranged in the housing (12). A substance recovery device (30) downstream of outlet opening (26) comprises a separator (34) for separating the organofluorine compound from the at least one further component of the initial gas mixture, the separator (34) being a liquefaction device (36) for liquefying and/or solidification device for solidifying the organofluorine compound.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical apparatus having an insulating space (4) which contains a dielectric insulation fluid (3, 31) comprising an organofluorine compound. At least one solid component (2) of the apparatus that is directly exposed to the insulation fluid (3, 31) contains a basic body (5) made of a first material and a protective layer (10) made of a second material different from the first material, said protective layer (10) being directly or indirectly applied on the basic body (5) and having a thickness of at least 50 µm. The organofluorine compound is selected from the group consisting of: fluoroethers, fluoroketones, fluoroolefins, fluoronitriles, and mixtures thereof, and the first material comprises or consists of a material selected from the group consisting of: a polymeric material, a ceramic, a composite material, and mixtures or combinations thereof.
