Abstract
Furfural content in oil has been shown to be a powerful indicator of the deterioration of cellulose paper. The furfural content in oil may increase greatly when the moisture content increases in transformers. The increase of furfural content in oil can be attributed to various factors, such as aging of cellulose paper with the increase of moisture content and the difference in furfural production mechanism. In this research, thermal aging tests of oil-paper system with different moisture contents are conducted under laboratory conditions to determine the cause of such increase. Furfural content, both in insulation oil and in insulation paper, and the degree of polymerization values of insulation paper were regularly measured. Results show that the moisture content plays a significant role on the production of furfural, and the high initial moisture content in insulation paper leads to large amount of furfural produced when DP decreases to the same values. The difference in the moisture content apparently affects the distribution of furfural between oil and paper, and the increase in the moisture content in oil-paper system increases the diffusion of furfural from the insulation paper to the oil.
