Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical insulation, and in particular to an environmentally friendly insulating gas and application thereof in insulating or arc-extinguishing electrical equipment. Background Art

[0002] Perfluoromethyl sulfide (CF3SCF3, CAS: 371-78-8) is a new type of environmentally friendly insulating gas with an insulation strength of about 1.7 times that of sulfur hexafluoride, and its estimated GWP is only 2.8 times that of carbon dioxide. In addition, it has low toxicity, will not damage the ozone layer, and can be stored stably in the atmosphere. The boiling point of perfluoromethyl sulfide gas is -22°C, which is significantly better than most existing sulfur hexafluoride alternative gases.

[0003] However, compared with sulfur hexafluoride (relative insulation strength of 1, liquefaction temperature of -56°C, GWP of 23900), perfluoromethyl sulfide has lower GWP and higher insulation strength, but the liquefaction temperature is still high. Patent CN 118352919 A ​​discloses that its mixture with background gas can be used as an insulating gas to replace sulfur hexafluoride. However, the mixing scheme of perfluoromethyl sulfide and background gas can reduce the liquefaction temperature of the mixed gas, but the introduction of background gas will reduce the insulation strength of perfluoromethyl sulfide. The mixing ratio of background gas will affect both the liquefaction temperature and insulation strength. The replacement gas still needs further optimization. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the defects or shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a mixed insulating gas containing perfluoromethyl sulfide.

[0006] Furthermore, the dielectric strength of the mixed gas is Er_ 混合气体 Satisfies the relationship shown in formula (a):

[0007] Er_ 混合气体 >Er_ 组元1 ×x1+Er_ 组元2 ×x2 (a)

[0008] In the formula, Er_ 组元1 is the insulation strength of gas component 1 relative to SF6; Er_ 组元2 is the insulation strength of gas component 2 relative to SF6; x1 is the mass percentage of component 1 in the mixed gas; x2 is the mass percentage of component 2 in the mixed gas.

[0009] Optionally, the mass percentage of component 1 is 9.4% to 75.5%, and the mass percentage of component 2 is 24.5% to 90.6%.

[0010] Optionally, the insulating gas comprises component 3, which is at least one of nitrogen, oxygen, air and carbon dioxide. Optionally, based on 100% by mass, the mass percentages of component 1, component 2 and component 3 in the insulating mixed gas are: 9.3% to 43.4%: 46% to 89.9%: 0% to 28%, respectively, and the mass percentage of component 3 is greater than 0.

[0011] The mixed insulating gas of the present invention can be used in gas-insulated electrical transformers, gas-insulated wires for transmitting or distributing electric power, connectors or disconnectors. The working voltage of the mixed insulating gas is 3kV to 35kV, 35kV to 330kV or 330kV to 1200kV.

[0012] Component 1 and component 2 used in the present invention are both substances with low greenhouse effect potential (GWP value); component 1 is perfluoromethyl sulfide, the insulation strength of which is 1.7 times that of SF6, the atmospheric life is short, the toxicity is low, the GWP value is only 8, and the liquefaction temperature is -20°C; component 2 is one of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropylene.

[0013] When the gas combination formed by component 1 and component 2 in the mixed gas of the present invention meets the screening conditions S1 to S3, an insulating gas similar to a single substance in macroscopic properties can be formed, which has a lower liquefaction temperature than individual components 1 and 2.
