Ⅲ Insulation oil analysis

1 Separation process

Chromatographic column separation system applies two-dimensional

chromatography technique, adopting double-pillar parallel shunt column.

Samples gas is injected from injection port and introduced into

chromatographic column by carrier gas. In the column box, the carrier

gas is divided into two channels by shunt tee. One enters the GDX-50

column to separate C1 C2 and detect hydrocarbons in the FID Ⅰ.And the

other enters the TDX-01 column to separate H2（O2）、CO、CH4 、CO2

and detect H2 (O2) in the TCD, then enters conversion furnace to

transform CO, CO2 into CH4 and detect CH4 in FIDⅡ.

(refer to page 14 for shunt column system flow chart)

peak-emerging order:

GDX-502 column: CH4 、C2H4 、C2H6 、C2H2

TDX-01 column: H2（O2）、CO、CH4 、CO2

Determined components:

TCD: H2（O2）

FID Ⅰ: CH4 、C2H4 、C2H6 、C2H2

FID Ⅱ: CO、CH4 、CO2

2 thermal conductivity detector

2.1. technical performance

① TCD tank: Semi-proliferation structure, quadri-armed rhenium

tungsten filament, 100Ω in room temperature.

② Power system: constant current source mode power supply, 0-200mA

set, 1mA every gear.

③ Protection system: protecting rhenium tungsten filament by cutting

off constant current source timely on expiration and/or

 over-temperature .

2, Points for attention when using thermal conductivity cell detector

When employing thermal conductivity cell detector, it is important to

bear in mind to pump in carrier gas before boot-strap, in order to prevent

the rhenium tungsten filament from being oxidized and destroyed.

Bridge current should not be set too large. When nitrogen or argon is

used as carrier gas, the bridge current should be set between 60mA

and 90mA. When hydrogen or helium is used as carrier gas, the current

bridge should be set between 60mA and 180mA.

The purity of carrier gas should be above 99.99%.Otherwise, the

sensitivity will reduce and rhenium tungsten filament is inclined to be

oxidized, resulting in shortened expectancy. Column must be replaced

after the leak in order to ensure air tightness. Much attention should be

placed on column joints and injection port vaporization pad part.

3. Hydrogen flame detector

3.1 Technical performance

Structure: drum-type collector

Nozzle: corundum nozzle

Ignition: platinum filament automatic ignition

Polarization voltage: 200V DC(direct current)voltage.

3.2 Points for attention when using hydrogen flame detector

①Gas flow and ratio

 The ratio of nitrogen and hydrogen: usually between 1:1 to 2:1.

Air flow: usually not less than 300ml/min

② Detector temperature

Generally not lower than 120 ℃, in order to prevent condensation of

water vapor and pollution of combustion products.

③ Aging of the columns

Columns need fully aging, so as to reduce baseline noise and drift

caused by pollution. High temperature aging is recommended before

analysis.

④ Ignition

When the five-way temperature is stable and "constant temperature"

light is on, press the "ignition" button gently. Place bright metal above

ions head, and it demonstrates the success of ignition if there is water

vapor. Or increase the hydrogen flow appropriately.

4 Conversion oven

Separated CO, CO2 enter conversion oven charged with

hydrogen ,transform into methane catalyzed by nickel catalyst and

response in FID Ⅱ.Conversion process is as follows

5 Choices of operating conditions

5.1, Carrier gas flow

 Carrier gas flow impact on the time of column separation and

components retention , and column flow ratio recommended.

GDX-502 column flow: TDX-01 column flow = 1:1.9

5.2 Other gas flow

Hydrogen flame burning hydrogen: 25ml/min-30ml/min

Combustion-supporting air:380-450ml / min

Hydrogen in the conversion oven comes from "hydrogen Ⅱ", and

serves as combustion hydrogen in FID Ⅱ.

5.3 Temperature

Column chamber: generally 60 ℃

Thermal conductivity: generally 120 ℃

Hydrogen flame: generally 90 ℃

conversion: generally between 360 ℃ and 380 ℃

5.4, Injection volume

generally between 0.5ml and 1ml

ⅣPoints for attention

4.1. Run the instrument and heat when nitrogen, hydrogen and air are all

pumped in.

4.2. Ignite to increase bridge current after the instrument run and is heated

constant temperature.

4.3. Don’t close gas source until conversion temperature falls below
120℃ after stopping heating.

4.4. Make sure to cut off the gas and keep room temperature when

installing or disassembling chromatographic column, and replace for a

new graphite pad when installing column every time.

4.5. Replace for a new gas injection pad after about 100 times use, and

make sure to cut off the gas and keep room temperature when replacing.

4.6.Perform aging treatment if the emergences of unstable baseline,

peak-emerging tailing or non-ideal peak separation occur. Methods are as

follows:

Set 150℃ of column oven, 180℃ of vaporization, 180℃ of

detection, 0℃ of thermal conductivity, 390℃ of conversion. Press

running button to heat 8 hours! Take care not to increase bridge

current! ! ! Set all the temperature to the normal use temperature to heat

after aging treatment, and then run.

4.7. Check whether the security behind the instrument is open if the

instrument displays nothing or fails to heat after boot-strap.
