Overview

Randomized trial investigates the performance of a vacuum distillation system, demonstrating potential for biodegradable insulating fluids.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the efficacy of a vacuum-fractional distillation reactor in converting crude palm oil into biodegradable insulating fluids.
  • Utilized a vacuum-fractional distillation reactor for processing high free fatty acid crude palm oil.
  • Assessed breakdown voltage using IEC 60156 test standards.
  • Analyzed specific energy consumption and thermal efficiency during refining.
  • Achieved breakdown voltage exceeding 50 kV at 20 min, peaking at 59 kV within 50 min.
  • Specific energy consumption recorded at 2.1 kWh/L.
  • Thermal efficiency determined at approximately 4.3%, indicating opportunities for better heat utilization.
