Where it is used
Typical tasks
- SF6-free equipment with dry air
- New equipment with Clean Air
- Analysis of conventional SF6 equipment
- Transition to environmentally friendly technologies
Rapidox 6100 Clean Air Pumpback measures SF6 and clean-air mixtures with minimal gas loss during sampling.
Description
The Rapidox 6100 Clean Air Pumpback is an innovative gas analyzer from Cambridge Sensotec (United Kingdom), designed to analyze both conventional SF6 insulating gas and dry air (Clean Air) used in new environmentally friendly electrical equipment. The instrument is equipped with a Pump Back gas return function to minimize emissions.
Purpose and Applications
What is Clean Air (Dry Air)?
Clean Air (dry air) is an alternative to SF6 insulating gas in electrical equipment:
| Characteristic | SF6 | Clean Air |
|---|---|---|
| Dielectric strength | High | High |
| Environmental risk | High (GWP 23,500) | None |
| Atmospheric lifetime | 3,200 years | None |
| Gas cost | High | Low |
| Regulation | Kyoto Protocol | Not required |
Why analyze Clean Air?
Dry air is used in new SF6-free equipment:
- Environmentally friendly equipment — free of greenhouse gases
- New generation of switchgear — with Clean Air insulation
- Transition to green technologies — replacing SF6 equipment
- Compliance with new regulations — EU F-Gas Regulation
Application in the power industry
The Rapidox 6100 Clean Air Pumpback is used for:
- SF6 equipment analysis — conventional
- Clean Air equipment analysis — new generation
- Transition period — mixed equipment fleet
- Environmental modernization — replacing SF6 with Clean Air
Key Features
Dual analysis: SF6 and Clean Air
The instrument can analyze two types of insulating media:
SF6 analysis
- SF6 purity — 0-100% with ±0.5% accuracy
- Moisture — dew point -60°C to +20°C
- Decomposition products — SO2, H2S up to 1000 ppm
Clean Air analysis
- Oxygen (O2) — concentration measurement
- Nitrogen (N2) — concentration measurement
- Moisture (H2O) — dew point -60°C to +20°C
- Air purity — quality check
Pump Back Function (Gas Return)
- Sampling — gas is drawn from the equipment
- Analysis — all quality parameters are measured
- Return — clean gas is pumped back
- Result — minimal gas loss
Advantages of Pump Back
Economic
- SF6 is an expensive gas — priced up to $100+ per kg
- Loss minimization — up to 99% gas return
- Refill savings — fewer new gas purchases
- Fast payback — within a few analyses
Environmental
- SF6 is a greenhouse gas — 23,500 times more potent than CO2
- Zero Emission — zero emissions into the atmosphere
- Clean Air is environmentally friendly — no greenhouse effect
- Kyoto Protocol compliance — emission reduction
