PERFORMANCE COMPARISON AND SELECTION OF TRANSFORMER FLUID

Performance Comparison and Selection of Transformer Fluid

Transformer fluid directly affects the working state of the components and the cooling efficiency of transformer.There are three kinds of transformer fluid used Double Boilers for electric locomotive, EMU and suburban rail vehicles: mineral oil, silicone liquid and synthetic ester based insulating oil.In this paper, the three kinds of oil are compa

Discriminative Monitoring of Seamless Rail Force by a High-Birefringence Effect-Based Fiber Optic Sensing Method

Nowadays, China has developed over 38,000-km high-speed railways (HSR).As one of the key elements in the HSR system, continuous welded rail (CWR) enables higher transportation efficiency, while demands for more robust inspection and maintenance techniques.The discrimination between longitudinal temperature force and longitudinal additional force is

Design and Characterization of a Small-Scale Solar Sail Prototype by Integrating NiTi SMA and Carbon Fibre Composite

Solar sails are propellantless systems where the propulsive force is given by the momentum exchange of reflecting photons.In this study, a self-deploying Swivel Glider Accent Chair system based on NiTi shape memory wires and sheets has been designed and manufactured.A small-scale prototype of solar sail with carbon fibre loom has been developed.Dif
