Askarel is a generlo nans referring to liquid dielectrics derlvadkXrefii lalogenated aromstlo hydrocarbons possessing excellent ohemioal and dleleotrle stability and fire-resistance over the temperature ranges and operating conditions required of transformers and eapaoitors in the eleotrloal industry. The properties of Aroelors and their mixtures, used as dielectrics are described In detail in Chapter 7 entitled, "Typical Properties". These dleleotrles are manufactured under very carefully oontrolled conditions in order to meet the strict and exacting eleotrloal requirements and properties. The eleotrloar Industry's use of these fluids has been largely in accordance with the Oeneral Sleotrlo Company's patents and developments. *Aroelors - Monsanto's chlorinated biphenyls and ohlorlnated polyphenyls.

Procedure for Unloading the Cara The ear should be spotted at an unloading dook similar to the one shown by Brewing No. 90-8178. The ear wust be level and the brakes set properly. "STOF-Tankear Connected" signs should be plaeed fere and aft the ear to warn switehlng crews. If.lt Is raining or snowing or the hualdlty Is extremely high. It la not advisable to open the ear. In ease the ear must be sampled and opened during bad weather, a eanvas eanopy must be plaoed over the dome of the ear. It Is preferable to unload the oars under roof or Inside the factory. Obless it Is absolutely necessary beeause of following desorlbed situations 4 GBRN 000298 LEXOLDMON003102 the done oover should not be opened until reedy for sampling. The dome oover Is seeled with s standard railroad wire and seal, and Monsanto should be notified if this seal is foundbbroken upon receipt of the ear. The first step in unloading is to Inspect the dome and clean around the dome oover to remove all loose dirt, water or snow. Wiping rsgs and a brush should be used to clean before the dome cover and connections are opened. Then, the screwed hood over the air-inlet valve should be removed and this valve opened fully and left open while heating the ear; " A. Weston or metal encased thermometer should be in serted through this air-inlet valve opening and the temperature of the interior of the ear determined. If the car temperature is below the caution temperature shown in the following Table 1, it will be necessary to take the special step of inserting a "hair-pin" heating coll through the dome of the ear to preelude rupturing the tankcar seams during the heating period.

Extreme eara must ba taken to avoid getting dirt or Moisture into tha oar. It la due to tha relatively hg|h vlaooslty of aone of tha Aroolora at low temperatures that It becomes necessary to fora a oolumn of aoltan Material frow top to bottom of the ear. In tha center, to prevent hfdraulle preeaure build-up which may rupture tha tank shall If there la too rapid loeallsed heating when employing tha main steam oolla. ~ When such pre-heating la required, a satisfactory vent hole ean be made by inserting a "hair-pin" eoll (1/9 inch diameter brass, galvanised, or stalnlese steel pipe) Into the open dome of the oar and Introducing steam through the coll until there la a coltan of fluid Aroolor from top to botbom. After the vent hole la melted through the material to the bottom of the oar, the "hair-pin" eoll ahould be removed and the dome eover replaoed and bolted. Stean la then Introduced Into the main oolla. It Is recommended that the steam pressure be limited to 100 pounds gauge pressure, particularly In the oase where the oolls are la direct contact with the Aroolor. The steam eoll outlet ahould be trapped or throttled with a valve. It will require eight to twenty houra to bring the material to pumping temperature - depending upon weather 6 GBRN 000300 LEXOLDMON003104 conditions. it is essential that the sir Inlet valve bs open during the heating period la order to vent the taak.

(158 P.) until it has dissolved. Seleetlon of pumping temperatures for any dielectric not shown on this list or whloh may be developed in the future should be based oh a viseosity of about 100 Saybolt universal Seconds for average pumping and about 40 3.U.3. for. fast pumping. When the material has been heated to punping temperature, a one-half inch diameter pipe "cross" arrangement containing a pressure gauge, air inlet, pressure relief valve to relieve at 30 P3I0, and vent connections, should be oonneoted to the done air inlet pipe, gien the unloading line should be oonneoted. 9 6BRN 000303 LEXOLDMON003107 (At this point t sample la taken ftft described In Chapter 4,) Dry** air is then Introduced Into the tankear and pressure built up to 15 pounds gauge. The two Inch valve cook on the stand pipe Is opened and the discharge pipe observed to be sure the liquid is being unloaded. To proteet the scans In the tankear, the pressure Bust not exceed 30 pounds. The ear will begin to unload at about 12 pounds pressure. When the ear Is empty, the air pressure will drop off rapidly and air will blow out of the vent on the reeelvlng tank. The air flow nay be stopped at thla point and the tankear pres sure released through the vent valve on the .*feross" arrangenent. After Inspecting the ear to be sure that It has been completely unloaded, all eonneotlons and done cover should be closed tightly, it Is essential that the cnpty tankear be sealed lonedlately after the oar Is unloaded In order to keep the ear filled with dry air during return shipment. As a final *It Is essential that the displacement air used for unloading be dried thoroughly by some dehumldlfylng unit such as soda lime, activated alumina or similar dehydrating agent drying unit. It may be neoessary to reoharge the dehumldlfylng unit each time that a ear Is unloaded. Por unloading a tankear of ArocJor within three hours, 15 standard euble feet a minute of air at 15 pounda per square Inch gauge pressure *atta -loop, dew point should be supplied. If the dry air unit la to be used only for unloading tankears, a small single tower dryer unit containing a self-contained reactivating heater Is suggested. Two manufacturers of air dryers of this type are: C. N. Kemp Nfg. Co., 405 B. Oliver Street, Baltimore 2, Maryland and Pittsburgh Leetrodryer Corporation, Foot of 32nd Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. LEXOLDMON003108 step, It is desired that a standard railroad wire seal be in serted through the slotted bolts of the ear fittings. Steam should be released from the ear eolls and all oondensate re moved from the oolls by blowing with air with the steam trap by passed. All connections must be replaced as reoelved. Adequate care should be taken in preparing and sealing the ear for return shipment. unloading with dry air as described is the preferred and recommended procedure because it is done with the ear dome closed whioh avoids contamination. If the car is unloaded by pumping out of the top. which required opening the dome, it is most desirable that the oar be set inside of a building. If this cannot be done# then# a canopy or roof should be provided over the car dome# and the unloading should be done when the weather is clear. A centrifugal pump with minimum capacity of 40 gpm. is suggested. It will be necessary to prime the pump and only clean Askarel should be used to do this. Another method for priming the pump is to use a Penberthy steam Jet# Mo. 22A available from Penberthy Injector Co.# 1242 Bolden Ave., Detroit 2# Michigan. If a flexible unloading line lsised# it should be a flexible metallic hose. Rubber hose must not be used.

An example la NESCO no. 3 lining offered by the National Enameling and Stamping company. Long Island, New Tork. Contents of the druaa should not be heated by direct application of flame or strip heaters. Radiant heat from steam colls or hot air In a heated room la to be pre ferred. The screw plug la the drum head Is fitted with a metal cap as a safe guard against tampering. 6BRN 000306 12 LEXOLDMON003110 CHAPTER 2 STORAGE TAMES A. Qcneral Description The storage banks should bs a minimum of 10,000 gallons and preferably 12,000 to 15,000 gallons capacity to accommodate tha normal 8,000 gallon tankears. It Is preferable to locate the tanks above ground where they are easily aeeesslble for any changes or repairs, under ground location presents difficulty In this respeet. Especially In cold climates. It Is preferable to locate - the tanks inside of a building. The tanks should be located conveniently with reference to the tankoar unloading facilities and the area where the dielectric Is used. Although Aroclors are non-oorroslve to metals, oorroslon or rusting of Iron and steel equipment (by oxidation) may occur resulting in contamination of the produets. The resis tance of Aroclors to materials of construction Is given in Monsanto Technical Bulletlon O-P-115, entitled, "The Aroclors," Page 6. 1 Stainless steel tanks are very satisfactory but relatively expensive. Stainless steel pipe Is relatively difficult to fabricate and It Is dlffloult to make tight leak-proof connec tions. Storage tanks nay be of steel construction If properly metallised with slne-tln or aluminum on the Interior surfaoes 13 CBRN 000307 LEXOLDMON003111 cosing in contact with the Aroelors. The metallizing should be done according to the following procedure: 1. Clean an area of the surface by sand blasting* or a similar method, to give a perfectly clean and roughened surfaoe. The area cleaned should not be greater than can be oospletely netalllzed within a few hours after cleaning. 2. If rlno-tln setallising is used* a coating of zinc 0.005 inches thick should be sprayed on to the cleaned surfaoe. This is followed immediately by a coating of tin 0.007 inches thick. 3. Aluminum metallised surfacing should be about 0.01 ineh thick. The detailed procedure for metallising and oleanlng is ~ outlined as follows: a) Sand blast, b) coat with iron* 0.005 Inches thick. (The purpose of this coating is to provide a rougher and better bond for the finish coat of aluminum or the sine-tin combination.) o) Apply the selected finish coat, d) Fill the tank with tap water and warm it with steam. (If an open steam line is used* do not allow the steam to impinge directly onto the metallized surfaoe of the tank.) e) Crain the tank, f) Fill with cold water and drain, g) Vlpe dry with dean diaper doth or other fabric relatively free of lint, b) Beat the tank to at least 1000(3. (218F.) to expell moist air. It would be beneflolal to heat the tank* allow it to cool and pull dry air through it using a defaumidlfylng breather in the air line* heat again etc. until the tank is full of comparatively dry air. 1) Spray about 100 gallons of new* eleetrloal grade Aroelor (not high 14 ' rh 306 LEXOLDMON003112 'In vlsooslty) or eleotrleal grade trichlorobenzene onto the inner noils of the tank, noshing the noils thoroughly (ovoid breathing any fuses). J) Attaoh the elreulotlng pump, the lines used* and the filter press fitted with dry paper end cir culate the fluid through the systen end the tank. Install new dry filter paper several tines In the press during this dry* lng and cleaning operation. Dlaoard the dielectric fluid used for cleaning, k) Partially fill the tank with new Aroclor dleleotrlo and analyze It eleotrleally and ohemleally to de termine whether It Beets specifications. if all tests are net* then fill the tank with the dleleotrlo. The tanks should be Insulated using* preferably; glass foam beads as supplied by Dow-Cornlng or Llbby-Owens-Ford. The suggested thickness of the glass insulation Is one lnoh mini mum to two Inches maximum. The glass insulation may be covered with tar material commonly used for weatherproofing. Another type of Insulation which may be used Instead of the glass is 850 Magnesia-Wool which should be oovered also with the weather proofing tar. The advantage of the glass Insulation Is that It Is not moisture sensitive as Is the ease with Magnesia-Wool. If the storage tank Is located outdoors* It Is best that the Insulation be covered with rlteted or bolted tin sheeting painted with aluminum paint. This type of metal surface weathers well and Is cleaned easily. All piping must be gal vanised and screwed fittings must be back brazed to assure 15 GBRN 000309 LEXOLDMON003113 tightness. All handling pipe lines Bust be trseed with stean lines and insulation applied over the two lines in order to keep the handling lines and the material up to the desired pumping temperature. Usually a one-fourth Inch copper steam line running parallel with the handling line will suffice. Under very severe conditions of low temperatures* It would be desirable to wind the steam line around the handling line about two turns to the foot. The tanks must be provided with ample pressurised heating coll surface, to supply sufficient heat to the material to bring It to the proper temperature for pumping and handling as Indi cated In Table III. Heating colls should be either metallised steel, or preferably steel oolls which have been galvanised after fabrication. It Is reoommended that the steam pressure on all heating colls should not exceed 100 pounds per square Inch gauge; lower pressures may be uaed where practicable. It la essential that all steam colls be completely free from even minute leaks slnoe this will Introduce water Into the product. * The steam colls may be Introduced as "halr-pln" oolls through a manhole at the side and bottom of the tank, or as Is most often done, inserted through the manhole at the top of the tanteand then located near the bottom. Sxteroal heating oolls located In the Jacket of the tank may be used but this construction Is more expensive and less effloient than the Internal colls. 16 ' 6BRN 000310 LEXOLDMON003114 - The storage tanks may be fitted with a stirrer, eithar through tha top, aIda, or bottom of tha tank and the propeller blade ahould be located near tha bottoa of tha tank. However, lnaertlon of a stirrer through the aide offers possible souree of a leak and since these aaterlals are hoaogeneous. It is not essential to provide such agitation for the purpose of nixing. Adequate circulation can also be aeoonpllshed by using a centrifugal type pump, dear puaps or other equipment where wear or chipping of aetal parts any Introduce oontaalnatlon should not be used. The pumps must be of the type designed to handle hot oil. All wetted pump parts should be either stainless steel or bronse. The centrifugal puaps must be provided with a deep stuffing box and proper packing used, as described In Chapter 3. As examples of puaps found com pletely satisfactory for this service, reference Is made to Worthington Worthlte puaps. Blackmer puaps, and Dayton Dowd Type C puips for handling hot oil. Also, a very satisfactory arrangement for mixing or circulating-and puaplng the fluid from the storage tank la to use a vertloal sump pump suoh as a Taber pump. All storage tanks must be amply provided with a dehumldlfylng breather such as soda lime, activated Alumina, etc., salts. This Is essential to prevent moist air from ooalag In contact with the dleleotrle. A moisture content above 35 ppa 17 . GBRN 000311 LEXOLDMON003115 adversely affects tha slactrleal resistivity of these pro duets i Provision should be made to preclude possible leakage d0 the drier material baok Into the storage tank and the drier should be Inspected periodically to aake aura that it la open and not plugged.

A specially designed thief or bomb for sampling tankears is described, also, A serf good instrument of this type is the stainless-steel Bacon Bomb Thief with which samples of the liquid can be drawn from any level of the tankear. The ASTM procedure describes sample containers, their ~ oleaning and storage. Under general precautions,.the ASTM mentions that, "Samples of the fluid shall not be taken until the oil is at least as warm as the surrounding air, because cold oil may condense enough moisture from a humid atmosphere to affect seriously its insulation properties. (In the ease of tankear lots, on some occasions there may be no choice, as It may be neoessary to procure samples from a tankear when the temperature is not above the surrounding air. On such occasions, the temperature of oil and air, also the humidity if possible, should be noted in the report of teat results.) It is unde sirable to do any sampling when the relative humidity of the atmosphere exceeds 75 peroent, and samples shall never, be taken In the rain." 23 GBRN 00031? LEXOLDMON003121 At the plants of several eleotrloal manufacturers using Aroelor dleleotrlcs. the praetiee la to switch the tankears directly into tho plant building or under roof before sampling and unloading. These precautions in handling are taken to avoid any contamination of the fluids mhloh are manufactured under very strict specifications. For example, the speolfloatibn for ionisable chlorides allows no more than 0.10 parts per million. Moisture may not axoeed 30 to 35 parts per million. Tankears are cleaned and prepared under close inspection before they are filled. When filled, and analysis shows ~ the material in the ear to be satisfactory, the oar is then sealed with a standard railroad wire and seal inserted through the slots of the dome fittings. Likewise, after the tankears have been unloaded in the industry, it is requested that the donsfittings should be sealed with a railroad wire and seal. 2.) Monsanto Methods used for sampling tankears differ somewhat from the AdTM procedure. The modified techniques are used because of tbilr greater simplicity and they have been entirely satisfactory as employed over many years. A sample is never taken when it is raining or snowing or when there is any ohanoe of contaminated atmosphere moving in the direction of the ear. However, in ease of an emergency, during inclement weather, a canopy is placed over the ear done before sampling. 24 GBRN 000318 LEXOLDMON003122 A satisfactory staple bottle is a five pint, round ambtr glass, psekar type oontalnsr fitted with a 38 llllMtar Bake- llta screw eap with an aluminum or tin oup llnar. Bottles of this description ean bo purchased from the Northwestern Bottle Company, 3144 North Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri sooordlng to their NO. A-7253. Only new bottles snd esps are used. When a shipment of bottles is reoelved, the bottles are ospped lmedlately and stored in their reoelvlng eartons. Prior to use, the exterior of the bottles Is wiped with a elean eloth. The simplest ssnpllng devloe used Is a dean stslnless ~ steel or aluminum dipper. However, this Is not a generally preferred device beosuse It peralts stapling the oar from the near surfaoe, only. The sampling devloe commonly used consists of s stainless steel tube, seven feet long with one end bent into a hook, to serve as a handle and on the other end there Is a stslnless steel buoket with a perforated bottom, nils bucket Is about 3-1/4 Inches Inside diameter and 6 Inches deep to hold the % five pint bottle. This bottle la held firmly by a stainless stsel oollsr msde to slide along the shaft of the sampling devloe. This eollar has a damp attachment for fixing it tightly Into plaoe where desired around the neck of the bottle. Vben a ear la to be aampled, a now aauple bottle is elsmped firmly In the bucket.

For eapaeltor use, usually the laportaat properties tested are resistivity, power factor, chlorides, and moisture. For transformer use dielectric strength, resistivity, moisture, and chlorides are the important properties. If the sample Is out of line with the shipping specifica tions, It Is indicated that the sample has beeoae contaminated. In this ease, another sample Is to be taken and the properties redetermined. If still out of speolfleatlons, the sample should be given treatment with earth. Treatment of the dielectric with conditioned Attapulgus earth will bring the electrical properties to the uaxlaua attainable-values. While there Is complete agreement on the benefits derived from treating with conditioned earth, there Is difference of opinion on details of the method, arising from factors such as the following. No doubt, there are differences In the absorbent power of various types of dlatonaoeous earth - with respect to removing moisture.

Corrosion Apparatus consists of the following! 1) A Corrosion Plask - It is a 300-ml. Pyrex flask 50 6BRN 0003^5 LEXOLDMON003149 with a ground glass 24/40 Joint equipped with a 12-lneh straight tube aa an air cooled con* denser. The air-condenser la painted on the outside with aluminum. 2) Pie Corrosion Apparatus: A transits box 32" long x ek- wiae x 5" deep, The top of the box represents a split transits board with 5 holes cut to fit the flasks. The box Is heated by two 500-watt. 15 volt O.E. Strip heaters with off-set terminals at one end (23.5" overall length). The heating length of the heating element is covered by a copper strip 19-1/2" long x 4" wide x 1/4" thick. The temperature Is controlled by an automatle thermostat with temperature setting indicator. Procedure: 1) Roll a rectangular (2" x 4") piece of aluminum foil so that It will pass through a ground glass 24/40 Joint of the corrosion test flask. CAUTION: Be careful that after rolling the specimen does not touch Itself at any point. 2) Wash the aluminum foil (Step 1) scrupulously with aoetone, distilled water, acetone, benzene, and chloride-free ether. 3) Then place the foil on a clean watch-glass and dry In an oven at 110c. for 30 min. After cleaning handle the specimen with tonga or forceps only. ' 4) Weigh accurately on an analytical balance the speolmen (Step 3) at room temperature. 5) Drop the weighed aluminum foil Into the chloridefree corrosion flask of the "O.E. Corrosion Appa ratus." Rinse out flask with sample and rinse end of oondenser with sample. 51 tt8RN 000346 LEXOLDMON003150 6) Add 200 ml. of the product under test to the aluminum foil (Step 4 and 5). 7) Set the corroalon flask In the corrosion test appa ratus . 6) Attach a 12-inch straight-tube air-cooled condenser, the outside of which is painted with aluminum. 9) Cover the exposed part of the flask with aluminum foil. 10) Heat the flask for 6 (f O.l) hours at 210 9) C. The temperature of the liquid In the test flask Is mea sured indirectly using a thermometer Inserted through a cork stopper and into similar liquid contained In an iden tical flask seated adjacent to the test flask on the healing chamber. 11) At the end of the heating period, detach condenser from the flask before removing it from the hot plate. 12) Remove the flask from the hot plate and cover all of the flask with aluminum foil (when the flask is not on the hot plate.) 13) Without removing the aluminum foil covering of the flask, analyze the product (Step 6) remaining in the corrosion apparatus fort a Appearance.

Preparation of Standards: 1) Make a prlnary standard of 100.0 ppa by weighing 0.1648 g. C.P. NaCl Into a chloride-free 1 liter volumetric flaak. Dilute to the mark and mix thoroughly. Make a 10.0 ppm atandard by diluting 100 ml. of the primary atandard to 1 liter, and mixing well, por every 0.1 ppm atandard. dilute to 10 ml. of the 10 ppm atandard to one liter and mix well. A 0.1 ppm beam la considered the very falnteat beam perceptible to the eye between 15-45 seconds after adding the AgNO, solution. If the beam Intensity Is not vlalble^at all. or If easily visible (too strong), discard the solutions and make new standards. _ --* 2) Weigh 20.0 g. C.P. AgN03 into a chloride free dark bottle. Add 20 ml. C.P. HNO- (chloride-free). Dilute to 200 ml. with water. 3) All solutions should be freshly prepared every two weeks and stored In glass-stoppered Pyrex bottles. b. Light Source: Employ the 2 battery Penllte flashlight, having a 3-4 mm. light aperture. New batteries must be need fre quently In order to perceive beams properly. c. Procedure: 1) Thoroughly rinse two separatory funnels with chloride-free water three or four times. Then take an aliquot from each funnel In a test tube which - has been rinsed with chloride-free water. Test these aliquots for Tyndall beams by adding 3-5 drops of AgNOo and allowing 45 sec. for full beam to evolve. Absolutely no dust or chloride beam should be present, (if beam Is present, rinse all equipment with 1:1 HNO3 and repeat Step 1). 2) When funnels are beam-free, drain out all the water exoept 50 ml. In one and 25 ml. In the other. Heat the water In both funnels to boiling. (Hold stopper while heating as steam may cause stopper to fall.) 52 GBRN 000348 LEXOLDMON003152 3) Transfer 50 ml. of the sample from the sample bottle at a temperature of 95-100C. into the separatory funnel containing the 50 ml. of boiling water. (As a precautionary measure, pour some of the sample from the sample bottle Into a waste beaker before adding the 50 ml. to the funnel.) 4) Stopper the funnel and shake vigorously for at least l minute, venting frequently through the stopcock. (Care must be exercised at all times to toueh neither`the lower part of the funnel stem not the ground part of the stopcock.) 5) Allow the layers to separate and drain off the sample Into the second funnel containing the 25 ml. of boiling water. (As before, drain off a few ml. of the sample into a waste beaker before _ " draining the sample Into the second separatory funnel.) It may be necessary to heat the sample when transferring the sample to the second funnel; e.g., Aroelor 1250. 6) Repeat step A and allow the layers to separate. Then drain off the sample into a waste beaker. 7) Combine both water extracts In one funnel and shake thoroughly. 8) Take approximately a 10 al. aliquot of the water extract out through the bottom of the funnel Into a 3/A" x 6n test tube. Again, first allow a few ml. to drain out before taking the aliquot. (The test tube used should be rinsed with chloride-free water several times before using.) i 9) Add approximately an equal portion of chloridefree ether. (The ether Is tested by shaking a portion of It with chloride-free water and testing for Tyndall beam at the end of A5 sec. If beam is present, wash ether several times with ohlorldefree water until washings show no beam after adding 3.5 drops AglK^). 10) Shake the ether-water mixture until the emulsion In the sample disappears and the water layer Is completely beam free before adding AgHO*. If emulsion Is difficult to break, add sample dropwise through the ether and then shake. 53 GBRN 000349 LEXOLDMON003153 11) Add 3-5 drops of 10% AgNO* solution and test for . chloride bean for 45 sec. exactly. If no bean Is present at the end of 45 seconds, report as {p.l ppm. The very falnteat of beams is considered 0.1 ppm. if beam is stronger It will be necessary to compare with standards of 0.15* 0.20 up to 1.0 ppm, adding the 3-5 drops of AgNOe and comparing at the end of 45 sec. The method is precise to the nearest 0.1 ppm. Report results to the nearest 0.1 ppm. METHOD NO. 10,087, "ACID NUMBER." a.

Aroelors and their mixtures supplied to the electrical Industry oust conform with most strlot requirements sepelfled by the Industry as shown In chapter 7* Slnoe these products are sensitive to contamination from traoes of Impurities, they require careful handling In the Industry when sampling or storing or using the materials to Impregnate capacitors or fill transformers. Common oontamlnants to be avoided Include moisture, Ionia* able Impurities, metallic l^urltles, such as rust or oorroslon products from storage and handling equipment, and contaminants such as oils (mineral oils), lubricating oils or greases conmonly used In equipment or other processes In the electrical Industry. Care must be taken to avoid contamination from oontact with improper gaskets or packing materials. Including natural and synthetic rubber and most plastie exclusive of certain Silicones and Teflon. Rosin solder fluxes, etc. nay also Introduce traoes of deleterious Impurities. The dleleotrlos are also susceptible to the harmful motion of ultra-violet light and, therefore, exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided. The adverse effect of lonlsable impurities Is especially pronounoed In the low viscosity Aroolors such as Aroelor 1242 66 . GBRN 000362 LEXOLDMON003166 or Aroelor mixtures such at pyranol 1481. In tht eate of more viscous fluids, tueh at Aroelor 1254, the lonlsable Im purities art not to fret to move about In the fluid and, con sequently, the more viscous fluids ean be handled with lest eare than required for the thinner fluids. This it especially pertinent in eapaeitor manufacturing. When using the thinner type Aroelort to aake capacitors that offer superior low temperature operation, the following types of trace contamination affecting the eleetrloal properties \ of the dielectric have been experienced. Occasional droplets of perspiration froa operators, when winding the capaoltor cores, have fallen onto the paper causing contamination in the finished units. Snail aaounts of Olyptal resin and simi lar sealing compounds used to seal tiny leaks in the vacuum impregnating equipment or storage tanks have caused contamina tion. Also, email aaounts of mineral oil entering the system have oaused similar trouble. A small droplet of any of these materials in one or several liters of the thinner type fluids results in notloeable contamination, whereas it may not have as much adverse affect on the more viscous dleleetrles. To be certain that the fluids are free from traoes of contamination, it is standard practice to treat them with con ditioned dlatomaoeous earth and then to filter Immediately be fore use. Treatment with this esrth by removing traoe contam inants results in "19-grading" the cleotrleal values, e.g.. 67 CBRN 000363 LEXOLDMON003167 the volume-resistivity nay be brought up considerably beyond thf specification minimum or the normal values of the dielectric as received. Likewise, Improvement In power factor may be ao compllshed. The earth treatment reeonetided for use by the electrical manufacturers is qualitatively the same as used In the produc tion of the Aroclors and their preparation for shipment to the eleetrleal Industry. Treatment of the Aroolors with earth by the eleetrloal manufacturers la a step required to assure that traeee of Impurity or contamination that may have been Introduced during storage or handling In the eleotrleal Indus try have been removed and that maximum electrical values have been attained immediately before the dleleetrlo Is Introduced Into capaoltors or transformers. It is impractical for the manufacturer to furnish these dlelectrlos to the customer at the maximum attainable eleotrl eal qualities because even with oareful packaging, shipping, sampling and handling In the eleetrleal Industry, these fluids may easily pick up traces of contaminants from opened tankcars, drums, pipe line, pumps, eto. However, as supplied according to the specifications, the fluids are readily "up-graded" by the earth treatment. The type of dlatomaeeous earth used Is known as Puller's Earth, supplied by the Florldln Earth Company, Warren, Pennsyl vania, or the Attapulgus Division, Mineral ft Chemicals Corp, of America, 210 West Washington Square, Philadelphia 55, Pa., 68 "** 0003t, LEXOLDMON003168 or their equivalent. Usually * almas 200 mesh six*, regular volatile. Is used and theqiality should be specified as for use by the eleetrleal Industry. (Code 73122) The earth as reeelved needs to be conditioned and acti vated, after which it should be stored only a ninlaum length of time (about a day at the aost) and In hermetically sealed containers, prior to use. It Is desirable that the earth be used Immediately after It has been activated. Aotlvation should be done by heating the earth contained In stainless steel shallow trays for four hours at 400C. in a muffle furnace. If a muffle furnace Is not available or the capaolty by this method may not be great enough, the earth ean be activated by heating at least twelve hours In an elec trically heated oven at 250C. Another method used la to pan dry and activate by heating at 100C. and using a strong vacuum, about 6 mm. of mercury. This latter method is used in oonneotlon with transformer work and the former methods are usually used for papacltor work. In the plaoe of pan drying, rotary driers may be used but their aotlon should not be so severe as to break the earth par ticles to the extent of producing powder which Is difficult to handle In the subsequent filtering operations. It Is the consensus that the earth should not be heated above 400c. this nay cause collapse of the partloles. 69 GaRN oOJ65 LEXOLDMON003169 The amount of earth used it usually o.l to 0,3Jf based on the weight of the fluid. Larger amounta of earth ean be used If the fluid la composed of only Aroelor or a mixture of Aroelor and ohlorlnated benzene or other pour point depressants. However* larger amounts of highly motive earth* In the range of 2% or 3* would be expeeted to selectively adsorb scavengers or stabilizers from the fluids oontalnlng these additives. This la especially of oonoern In handling the transformer fluids which usually eontaln scavengers such as tin tetraphenyl. For transformer work It la suggested that the earth be condi tioned and mildly activated by heating It at 100C. under va cuum* about 6 mm. of mercury. Not more than about 0.l of earth based on the total weight of the transformer fluid should be used. For treatment with earth* the fluid la put Into a suitable tank fitted with an agitator* heating coll* and a cover. The proper amount of freshly conditioned earth la added and the mixture is agitated thoroughly and heated for about four hours. . The more viscous dielectrics sueh aa Aroelors 1248 and 1254 are heated at about 70 to 80 C. (158 to 176P.) and the leas vlsoous materials sueh aa Aroelor 1242 and Pyranols 1481* 1467* and 1470 are heated at about 50 to 6o c. (122 to i4oF.) After about four houra oontaet the material la filtered through a Sparkler or Sweetland or a comparable filter press previously fitted with filter paper liners such aa supplied by 70 - GbRN 000366 LEXOLDMON003170 Carl Schleicher and Sohuel Co*, Inc,, Keene, N.H* me paper la usually 25 nils thick and Bust be dried at 100C. to remove moisture, prior to use in the filter preaa. Ihe filtered dleleotrle material la then ready for impregnating capacitors or filling transformera. In some eases, especially for AC capacitor work where the dielectric does not require addition of stabilisers and aoeordlngly there Is no danger of removing such additives by repeated earth treatment, good praetloe is to use continuous earth treating, circulation and filtration with oonstant read* ing of the resistivity of the filtered dleleotrle* m Chapters 1 and 2 selection of proper materials of construction for the tankears and storage tanks was dlsoussed* It is equally Important to seleot proper materials of con struction for ths processing tanks used In the capacitor and transformer Industries and also for the lmprgnatlng chambers used In making eapaoltors. It Is preferable that this equipment be made of stain less steel or aluminum, or , If It is of steel construction, the Interior should be either slno-tln metallised or aluminum lined* While Iron or steel equipment Is not regarded as de sirable for handling the fluids, this type of construction Is used In some of the plants* Here the possibilities of rust ing or oorroslon cannot be overlooked. If the equipment Is kept free from water and If a film of dean dleleotrle adheres 71 GBRN 000367 LEXOLDMON003171 to tho surface of tho metal, e.g. when the tanka are empty, then satisfactory operation ean be experienced. However, a number of factors must be kept In mind and to cite an example, reference la made to the Impregnation of capa citors by the chamber method, The moisture oontent of the paper used In the capacitor cores may easily Introduce several gallons of water Into the average Impregnating chamber. This water Is removed from the eapaeltora prior to Impregnation -- usually by heating the chamber to about 130C. under efficient vacuum, 100 microns or less. If the chamber Is not made of _ the preferred materials of construction, slight corrosion may occur and the film of fluid on the Interior surface of the tank may be contaminated and In turn Introduce traces of Impurities Into the treated and dean dielectric subsequently Introduced into the chamber for Impregnating the capacitors. In faot, because of this possibility of contamination. In some operations the capacitors are conditioned and dried preparatory to Impreg nation In a separate oven or chamber and when thoroughly dried they are then transferred Into a second ohamber used for Impreg nation. _ In the oase of relatively large size eapaoltors, such as power faetor correction units, a manifold pipe system may be used to handle each unit Individually rather than by the batch- chamber method. The unimpregnated oapaoltors are placed into an oven and vacuum Is applied to the individual units attached to the manifold. 72 6BRh 0003Cb LEXOLDMON003172 -When conditioned and dry, the dielectric la introduced Into the unit through the manifold. Care must be taken that moist air or contaminant* do not oolleot In the branch through which the dleleotrlo la Introduced. In addition to removing moisture, another purpoae of the heat and vacuum conditioning treatment given the capacitor unite prior to Impregnation la to remove traces of impurities such as residual solvent from the metal cleaning operations and from solder flux. etc. Ite fluid is Introduced hot Into the evacuated capacitor units. The more visoous Aroelors, such as 1248 and 1254. are usually Impregnated at 85 to 130C. The less viscous and more volatile dielectrics such as Aroolor 1242 and mix* tures of Aroelor with chlorinated benzene may be Introduced best at lower temperatures -- about 50C. optimum. 809:. max.

It seems reasonable that the power factor of a sample of the fluid drawn from the trans former should be In the range of about 5 to 12 per cant, measured at 60 eroles and 100C. With field servlee of the transformer the power faetor value Is expected to lnerease somewhat. However, such a power faetor lnerease alone does not seem to have harmful effeot on the operation of the transformer. - A more usual measurement used for transformer fluid is volume-resistivity. This value of the new dleleetrlo prior to filling the transformer should be about 500 x 103 ohm-cm. at 1.000 oyoles and 100C. The similar value of the fluid taken from a new transformer should be at' least, about. 50 x 103 ohm-cm and no lower than 25 x 10? ohm cm. With long field servloe volume-resistivity values de- erease somewhat but seem to level off around 10 x 10? ohm-cm. with satisfactory 'transformer aeration. However. If the veiume-reslstlvlty of the fluid falls below 10 x 10? ohm-cm. the matter should be looked into. n GS&N 000370 LEXOLDMON003174 .

If accidental burns occur from contact with hot Aroolors, the burn should be treated the same as any ordinary burn, Aroolor adhering to the burned area need not be removed lamedlately unless treatment of the burn demands It, In whloh ease use soap and water or repeated washings with a vegetable oil. At ordinary temperatures Aroolors have not presented Industrial toxloologloal problems. If Aroolors are used at elevated temperatures In open systems, methods must be designed to exhaust any vapors arising, Xxperlmental work on animals Indicates that the maximum safe concentrations of vapors In worteooms Is in the range of 1*,Q to 2,0 milligram per cubic meter of air. This applies to all of the liquid Aroclors. 75 6BRN 000371 LEXOLDMON003175 Laboratory technique atrilr requires leaaplng the hands free of the liquid and handling It under a well ventilated hood. Looailsed or epot ventilation together with general workrooa exhaust Is recommended for plant operations. When sampling tankears. canvas gloves and safety glasses or goggles should be worn. No speolal elothlng Is required but the worker's garments should be laundered at least weekly and ehanged -in ease Aroolor or 12*00lor mixture Is spilled on the elothes accidentally. If workmen are exposed to Aroolor vapors at relatively high levels, as nay be the ease when opening a heated capacitor Impregnating ehsmber, a respirator should be worn during these short Intervals. The many years of satisfactory and safe use of Aroolors and their mixtures with ohlorlnated benzenes In the electrical Industry for Impregnating eapaoltors and filling transformers has demonstrated the Industry's ability to handle these fluids without hazard to the workmen, it Is a simple natter and In line with good "housekeeping" and personal eleanlinsss to exerelze the suggested and required precautions In all oases. 76 GBRN 000372 LEXOLDMON003176 GBRN 000373 LEXOLDMON003177 GBRN 000374 LEXOLDMON003178 GBRN 000375 LEXOLDMON003179 GBRN 000376 LEXOLDMON003180 vtm Wm- ihm ? i'-o* GBRN 000377 LEXOLDMON003181 GBRN 00037B i LEXOLDMON003182 6BRN 000379 LEXOLDMON003183
