Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of insulating oils, and particularly to a multifunctional additive for insulating oils, a highly efficient antioxidant and heat-conducting insulating oil, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a key insulating medium in the power system, the performance of insulating oil directly affects the operation safety and service life of electrical equipment. With the development of the power industry, the requirements for insulating oil are increasing day by day, especially in terms of antioxidant performance and heat conduction performance. At present, there are mainly two ways to improve the performance of insulating oil in the market: one is to develop new high-performance insulating oil substrates, which has high technical difficulty and R & D cost; the other is to improve the performance of existing insulating oil through additives, which is currently the simplest, economical and effective method.

[0003] Among them, the most common method to improve the antioxidant performance of insulating oil is to add antioxidants to the insulating oil. These antioxidants are mostly phenolic, amine or mercaptan compounds, which inhibit the oxidation process of the oil by reacting with free radicals in the oil, decomposing peroxides or terminating the free radical chain reaction. In addition, in terms of improving the heat conduction performance, the current technology mainly adds heat conduction enhancers, such as metal oxides or nanomaterials.

[0004] It can be seen that the current methods for improving the performance of insulating oil are usually limited to selecting additives for a specific performance. When improving the antioxidant and heat conduction performance of insulating oil, it is necessary to introduce a variety of additives with different functions, which not only increases the complexity of the production process, but also may introduce too many impurities, affecting the production cost and product performance of insulating oil. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a multifunctional additive for insulating oils, a highly efficient antioxidant and heat-conducting insulating oil, and a preparation method thereof, so as to provide a multifunctional additive with both antioxidant and heat conduction performance, realize multiple improvements in the antioxidant performance, insulating performance, heat conduction performance and stability of insulating oil, maintain high cost-effectiveness and long-term stability, and improve the comprehensive quality of insulating oil products.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for a multifunctional additive for insulating oils, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Disperse mesoporous nanoparticles in a solvent, add an initiator, and the mass ratio of the mesoporous nanoparticles to the initiator is (10 - 20) : 3. Heat and stir, and at the same time add an antioxidant while stirring. The mass ratio of the antioxidant to the mesoporous nanoparticles is (2 - 5) : 10. Continue to stir evenly, filter and dry to obtain mesoporous nanoparticles grafted with an antioxidant; the particle size of the mesoporous nanoparticles is 1 - 100 nm.

[0008] By adopting the above scheme, the chemical bonds in the added initiator molecules will decompose to generate free radicals in a high-temperature environment. These free radicals have high activity and will attack the active sites on the surface of the mesoporous nanoparticles and the antioxidant molecules, causing the nanoparticles and the antioxidant molecules to form reactive intermediates. As a result, the antioxidant is in-situ grafted onto the surface of the mesoporous nanoparticles in a chemical bonding manner, which can not only enhance the compatibility between the mesoporous nanoparticles and the organic body of the insulating oil, but also effectively prevent the free migration of the antioxidant in the insulating oil, control the release duration of the antioxidant, extend the action time of the antioxidant, and the mesoporous nanoparticles can also improve the insulation performance and thermal conductivity of the insulating oil. Compared with the traditional method, it improves the cost-effectiveness and product performance stability, and the process is simple, suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0009] As a preferred scheme, the initiator is at least one of benzoyl peroxide, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), dimethyl 2,2'-azobis(isobutyrate), dicarbonate peroxide, acyl peroxide, dialkyl peroxide.

[0010] As a preferred scheme, the antioxidant is at least one of hindered phenol antioxidants, amine antioxidants, sulfur antioxidants.

[0011] As a preferred scheme, the mesoporous nanoparticles are at least one of nano-silica, nano-zinc oxide, nano-aluminum oxide, boron nitride, nano-titanium dioxide.

[0012] As a preferred scheme, the heating and stirring temperature is 50-80 °C, the stirring rate is 300-600 rpm, and the stirring time after adding the antioxidant is 30-60 min.

[0013] As a preferred scheme, the solvent is at least one of water, ethanol, methanol, n-hexane, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexane, pentane, octane, dichlorobenzene, dichloromethane.

[0014] As a preferred scheme, 100-200 mL of solvent is added per 0.1 moL of mesoporous nanoparticles.

[0015] As a preferred scheme, the solvent is an ethanol aqueous solution with a mass fraction of 20 wt%-50 wt%.

[0016] As a preferred scheme, the particle size of the mesoporous nanoparticles is 30-80 nm, and the specific surface area is 20-600 m 2 / g.

[0017] As a preferred scheme, the mesoporous nanoparticles are nano-silica, and the specific surface area is 200-600 m 2 / g.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the mesoporous nanoparticles are nano-titanium dioxide with a specific surface area of 5 - 120 m 2 / g.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the mesoporous nanoparticles are nano-zinc oxide with a specific surface area of 30 - 70 m 2 / g.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the mesoporous nanoparticles are nano-aluminum oxide with a specific surface area of 100 - 500 m 2 / g.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the mesoporous nanoparticles are boron nitride with a specific surface area of 5 - 20 m 2 / g.

[0022] By adopting the above scheme, the nanoparticles in this application have a relatively small particle size, relatively high specific surface area and surface energy, can be in full contact with and interact with insulating oil molecules, significantly improve the heat dissipation performance of the insulating oil, have good dispersibility and stability, are not easy to agglomerate, and can maintain good performance for a long time. If the specific surface area of the nanoparticles decreases, the surface energy decreases, the interaction force with the insulating oil molecules weakens, and agglomeration is likely to occur, resulting in uneven dispersion in the insulating oil, affecting the stability of the insulating oil performance. Moreover, larger particle size nanoparticles will significantly increase the viscosity of the insulating oil, affecting the fluidity of the insulating oil, which is not conducive to heat dissipation and oil circulation during equipment operation, may cause local overheating of the equipment, and reduce the operation efficiency and lifespan of the equipment. At the same time, when the particle size of the nanoparticles is relatively large, polarization is likely to occur under the action of an electric field, resulting in local electric field distortion, thereby reducing the insulation performance of the insulating oil and increasing the risk of insulation failure of the equipment. Larger nanoparticles will also face the problem of precipitation caused by weakened Brownian motion, which is more likely to affect operation safety.

[0023] To solve the above technical problems, the second object of the present invention provides a multifunctional additive for insulating oil prepared by a preparation method of a multifunctional additive for insulating oil.

[0024] To solve the above technical problems, the third object of the present invention provides a highly efficient antioxidant and heat-conducting insulating oil containing 0.1 wt% - 1 wt% of the multifunctional additive.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, it includes 0.1 wt% - 1 wt% of the multifunctional additive, 90 - 99.9 wt% of the insulating oil matrix, and 0 wt% - 9 wt% of the functional auxiliary agent.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the insulating oil matrix is a synthetic ester insulating oil, a mineral insulating oil, or a natural ester insulating oil.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the functional auxiliary agent is at least one of a preservative, an antifoaming agent, and an anti-emulsifying agent.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] In this application, an antioxidant is in-situ grafted onto the surface of mesoporous nanoparticles in a chemically bonded manner by using an initiator, which enhances the compatibility between the mesoporous nanoparticles and the organic body of the insulating oil. At the same time, it can effectively prevent the free migration of the antioxidant in the insulating oil, improve the antioxidant strength, extend the action time of the antioxidant, and the mesoporous nanoparticles can also improve the insulation performance and thermal conductivity of the insulating oil. While achieving the improvement of comprehensive performance, it also maintains a high cost-effectiveness and is suitable for large-scale industrial production. Specific Embodiments

[0114] As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1-3, a multifunctional additive was added to the insulating oil. Compared with the insulating oil without the additive, the power frequency breakdown voltage was higher and the dielectric loss factor was lower, indicating an improvement in insulation performance. The total acid ester content and kinematic viscosity decreased, and the AOM value increased, indicating an improvement in antioxidant stability. The increase in thermal conductivity indicated an improvement in heat conduction performance. The antioxidant in the multifunctional additive of the present application is chemically bonded to the surface of nano-silica by an initiator, which can prevent the antioxidant from free migration in the insulating oil, improve the ability to capture free radicals in the insulating oil, extend the release duration of the antioxidant, and nano-zirconia can also improve the insulation and heat conduction performance of the insulating oil, thereby improving the overall comprehensive performance.

[0115] As shown in Table 1, compared with Examples 1-3, in Comparative Examples 4, 6, and 8, mesoporous nanoparticles were added to the insulating oil, and no antioxidant component was loaded on their surfaces. The total acid ester content of the prepared insulating oil was not much different from that of the base insulating oil, and the AOM value was significantly lower than that of Examples 1-3, indicating a significant decrease in antioxidant ability; although the thermal conductivity had a certain improvement effect compared with the base oil, it was still not as good as that of Examples 1-3, indicating a decrease in heat conductivity. In addition, compared with Examples 1-3, in Comparative Examples 5, 7, and 9, only antioxidant components were added to the insulating oil. The total acid ester content of the prepared insulating oil was lower than that of the base insulating oil, and the AOM value was higher, but the antioxidant, insulation, and heat conduction performances were all not as good as those of Examples 1-3. This is because the antioxidant in Examples 1-3 is chemically bonded to the surface of the mesoporous nanoparticles, which can prevent the antioxidant from free migration in the insulating oil, thereby improving the antioxidant ability. Moreover, the mesoporous nanoparticles have a relatively high specific surface area and surface energy, can fully contact and interact with the insulating oil molecules, significantly improve the heat dissipation performance of the insulating oil, and comprehensively improve the insulation and heat conduction performances of the insulating oil.

[0116] As shown in Table 1, compared with Examples 1-3, the particle size of the mesoporous nanoparticles in the insulating oil of Comparative Examples 10-12 was relatively large, 200 nm. The specific surface area and surface energy of the mesoporous nanoparticles were relatively low, the interaction force with the insulating oil molecules was weakened, and agglomeration was likely to occur, resulting in uneven dispersion in the insulating oil, affecting the stability of the insulating oil performance. Moreover, the relatively large particle size of the nanoparticles would significantly increase the kinematic viscosity of the insulating oil, affecting the fluidity of the insulating oil, which was not conducive to heat dissipation and oil circulation during the operation of the equipment, and the thermal conductivity was significantly reduced. At the same time, the relatively large particle size of the nanoparticles was prone to polarization under the action of an electric field, resulting in local electric field distortion, thereby causing a decrease in the insulation performance of the insulating oil.
