The invention relates to a method for preparing an
electrical equipment insulating liquid from waste
edible oil methyl ester with an improved pour
ignition point characteristic, and belongs to the technical field of insulating liquids. Distilling the waste
edible oil methyl ester to obtain distilled waste
edible oil methyl ester; the method comprises the following steps: adding a
molecular sieve,
immobilized lipase IM-100,
neopentyl glycol, distilled waste edible oil methyl ester and methyl nonanoate into a reaction vessel, reacting for 72-96 hours under the conditions that the temperature is 40-50 DEG C and the stirring rotating speed is 120-130 rpm, and separating out the
molecular sieve and the
immobilized lipase IM-100 to obtain waste edible oil-nonanoate
neopentyl glycol diester; and carrying out adsorption,
vacuum drying and filter membrane
filtration on the obtained waste edible oil-
nonanoic acid-based
neopentyl glycol diester to generate the waste edible oil-
nonanoic acid-based neopentyl glycol diester insulating liquid. The obtained waste edible oil-
nonanoic acid neopentyl glycol diester insulating liquid has an excellent low-temperature flow characteristic, and the
ignition point also reaches the fireproof safety standard of K-grade insulating oil, so that the risk of accidents of
power equipment such as a
transformer and the like under severe environment conditions is reduced to a great extent; the vacancy of the insulating liquid in high-safety application places such as
offshore wind power and the like is supplemented, and more choices are provided for the application of the insulating liquid.
