Oleo

The total volume of combustible gases and the rate of their generation may predict the severity of the impending failure of a transformer. Since insulation oil must be tested at least once every 3 years, and more frequently when an incipient fault is detected, a robotic platform was designed to automate this process. In combination with a PAL RTC and a GC-MS system, Oleo allows the automated analysis of 30 samples of oil by headspace, to quantify permanent gases, methane, ethane, ethylene, etc.

Key Features:

• Agitation speed, injection syringe temperature, purging time and agitator temperature can be adjusted
• Helium gas vial purging system
• 30-glass syringe carousel
• Designed to be interfaced with existing GC,
  GC-MS, GC-MS/MS
