Abstract:
A method and device (1) for estimating a density value ρ m indicative of a true density ρ or for estimating a viscosity value η m indicative of a true viscosity η of a fluid (F) is disclosed. For this, a first resonance frequency f R of a first mechanical oscillator (10) in a reference volume (RV) and a second resonance frequency f F of a second mechanical oscillator (20) in contact with the fluid (F) are measured. The estimated value ρ m or η m is then derived using these resonance frequencies f R and f F . During this derivation, at least one fluid-temperature- or fluid-pressure-dependent parameter of the fluid (F) is used. Additionally or alternatively, the first (i.e. reference) mechanical oscillator is arranged in contact with a reference fluid (R). Thus, fundamental errors in the derivation of the estimated value ρ m or η m are reduced and the estimated value becomes more reliable.

Abstract:
A method and device for operating a fluid- insulated electrical apparatus (1) are disclosed. The insulation fluid (10) of the electrical apparatus (1) comprises at least two fluid components (A, B) which are a priori ingredients of the insulation fluid (10). The method comprises the step of carrying out at least one optical measurement and/or at least one gas chromatographic measurement on the insulation fluid (10). Using this measurement or these measurements or at least one additional measurement on the insulation fluid (10), a first concentration (c A ) of the first fluid component (A) and a second concentration (c B ) of the second fluid component (B) are derived. Then, using the first concentration (c A ) and the second concentration (c B ), and, advantageously, a dielectric breakdown strength of the insulation fluid (10), an operating state (O) of the electrical apparatus (1) is derived.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dielectric insulation medium comprising a hydrofluoro monoether, said hydrofluoro monoether containing at least three carbon atoms. The insulation medium according to the present invention has high insulation capabilities, in particular a high dielectric strength, and at the same time a low GWP. The invention further allows to provide an insulation medium which is chemically and thermally stable also at temperatures above 140°C, which is non-toxic or has a low toxicity level, and which in addition is non-corrosive and non-explosive.
Abstract:
A method and device for providing an insulation fluid (10) and for filling this insulation fluid (10) into a medium or high voltage switchgear (1) is provided. The method comprises method elements of mixing at least two fluid components (A, B) for yielding a first amount (Ml) of insulation fluid (10), monitoring a first mixing ratio (Rl) of this first amount (Ml), and monitoring a second mixing ratio (R2) of a second amount (M2) of the insulation fluid (10) that is already in the electrical apparatus (1). The first mixing ratio (Rl) is controlled such that no condensation of a fluid component (A, B) takes place. Furthermore, the first mixing ratio (Rl) and the first amount (Ml) of the insulation fluid are controlled using the second mixing ratio (R2), the second amount (M2), a desired target mixing ratio (R), and/or a target amount (M) of the insulation fluid.
