[0003] According to the current status of chromatographic analysis of large transformer oil in the power plant, it is necessary to manually take oil regularly and take it to the laboratory for chromatographic analysis. In particular, once a latent fault occurs in the transformer, manual continuous sampling and testing are required. The oil collection link, sample preparation link, and oil treatment link after sampling will cause waste of transformer oil and pollution of the environment by transformer oil. The transformer oil chromatography online monitoring system has a fully automated operation throughout the entire experimental process. The oil sample after sampling is processed and returned to the transformer, without loss of transformer oil and pollution to the outside. Since the oil chromatography online monitoring system is automated, it completely avoids manual (sampling and inspection) operations, saving a lot of manpower and materials, and is an effective application of energy-saving and emission reduction solutions.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a real-time monitoring method for the dissolved gas content in insulating oil of a large transformer, including installing a chromatographic monitoring device host on the transformer by means of a bracket, the installation position should not affect the inspection and maintenance of the transformer, and the device is used to monitor the dissolved characteristic gas content data of the insulating oil in real time, and the chromatographic online monitoring system software is assembled and installed on the device. The device and the software should have software such as data acquisition, analysis and diagnosis, WEB browsing, communication and remote transmission, as well as expansion functions, etc., and are used to analyze and store characteristic gas content data, obtain the real-time data of the dissolved characteristic gas content of the transformer insulating oil through the chromatographic monitoring device, and transmit it to the device and system software, through The data is stored and analyzed by the equipment and system software. The system software generates a characteristic gas content report based on the analysis results and displays it in real time on the terminal device. If the data is abnormal, an alarm is issued based on the analysis results and the fault area is predicted; the chromatographic monitoring device collects oil samples through a sampling tube connected to the transformer oil tank. The sampling oil tube is set to circulate oil. The collected oil sample can represent the state of the main oil sample. The sampling method and return oil do not affect the safe operation of the monitored equipment. The sample gas is captured by the purge capture method. The sample gas includes hydrogen, methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc. The carrier gas is generated by a gas generator Carrying sample gas that is not captured, the chromatographic monitoring device detects oxygen through the high-sensitivity microbridge thermal conductivity detector on board. When the equipment is normal, the same oil sample is tested multiple times at 25 degrees Celsius, and the deviation of the monitoring results is ≤5% (calculated based on an ethylene gas concentration of 50μL / L). The detected data is transmitted to the communication device for storage and recording, and the data is analyzed by the chromatographic online monitoring system software. The analysis results are generated into a gas content report and displayed in real time on the communication device. When abnormal data appears, the alarm system is controlled by the control center to sound an alarm. By analyzing the data, the fault area is predicted and the relevant staff are notified; The monitoring efficiency through the chromatographic detection device is high, and the single monitoring time is less than 30 minutes. Compared with the semi-permeable membrane degassing, the gas-sensitive semiconductor sensor improves the efficiency of the detector by ten times. The sample treatment through the purge and capture method does not require the use of organic solvents, and does not cause secondary pollution to the environment. It has the advantages of small sampling volume, high enrichment efficiency, small matrix interference, and easy online detection. The chromatographic method uses a microbridge detector, which is based on MEMS technology. The TCD uses silicon micromachining technology and precision machining technology to integrate detection circuits including reference cells, detection cells, gas channels, etc. on a silicon chip, and integrates control circuits, I / 0 interfaces, etc. on it. Due to the characteristics of MEMS technology, the volume of TCD made by this technology is very small, which effectively reduces the neutron volume of TCD and greatly improves the sensitivity of TCD. Its sensitivity can reach below 0.5ppm, with high sensitivity and good stability, and combines the common advantages of thermal conductivity and semiconductor detectors.
