Description

Rapidox SF6 Gas Recovery Bag is a specialized bag for the temporary storage of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) insulating gas during gas analysis. The solution was developed by Cambridge Sensotec (United Kingdom) to minimize SF6 emissions into the atmosphere and ensure environmental safety when working with electrical equipment.
Purpose and Applications
Why is an SF6 storage bag needed?
When analyzing the quality of insulating gas in electrical equipment, situations often arise where the gas cannot be returned to the system. This may be due to:
- The equipment lacking a gas return function
- The need to discharge the sample after analysis
- Laboratory research being carried out
The temporary SF6 storage bag solves this problem, allowing the gas to be safely collected and stored for subsequent disposal or reuse.
Application in the power industry
The bag is used in the following situations:
- Analysis of older equipment — where gas return is not possible
- Laboratory research — collecting samples for detailed analysis
- Emergency situations — collecting gas in the event of depressurization
- Scheduled maintenance — temporary collection during repairs
Environmental Benefits
Compliance with the Kyoto Protocol
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a potent greenhouse gas:
- Global Warming Potential (GWP) — 23,500 × CO2
- Atmospheric lifetime — 3,200 years
- Kyoto Protocol — requires minimizing emissions
Using the SF6 storage bag allows you to:
- Completely eliminate emissions during analysis
- Comply with environmental regulations
- Reduce the company's carbon footprint
- Demonstrate environmental responsibility
