The MIDEL family of transformer liquids comprises MIDEL eN 1215, MIDEL eN 1204 and MIDEL 7131. The “eN” prefix denotes natural esters, which are formulated using renewable base oils from different seed crops, whilst MIDEL 7131 is a synthetic ester fluid.
Read MoreMidel eN 1204 and MIDEL 7131 are robust ester fluids. Studies have demonstrated their long term stability, even at elevated temperatures. As with all dielectric liquids, it is necessary to take precautions when handling and storing MIDEL fluids to ensure that they are kept in optimum condition.
Read MoreCorporations and institutions are under increasing pressure to ensure their activities cause as little damage as possible to the environment. Embracing this concept of Corporate Social Responsibility can provide such entities with an improved public image and cost advantages associated with opting for a greener business model.
Read MoreMIDEL 7131 and eN 1204 are robust fluids capable of giving long service, even in the most demanding of applications. As with mineral oil, in order to ensure that MIDEL fluids give continued good service it is possible to monitor a number of the fluid parameters throughout the life of the transformer. Testing the fluid also has the added benefit of picking up any potential problems with the transformer before a failure occurs.
Read MoreTransformers present a key challenge for risk managers and insurers. This whitepaper explores the effects of increased demands on the power transmission and distribution network. It looks at how the energy insurance industry can manage the risks presented by transformers through a strategic asset management plan, and how the use of ester-based dielectric fluid can help to minimise impact on the market.
Read MoreThis whitepaper examines the risks to power and distribution transformers, and how power utilities can minimise the impact of unplanned outages caused by failure of this critical equipment
Read MoreThis whitepaper examines the risks posed by increasing demand for electricity on power and transmission networks, and looks at how ester transformer fluids can help safeguard assets in urban environments into the future.
Read MoreWe get lots of questions on Ester Fluids… Especially when it comes to retrofilling transformers. That’s why we’ve put this guide together on the top 15 questions (and answers) – to help organisations better understand the challenges and possibilities of retrofilling with ester and to assist them to make investment decisions with greater certainty.
Read MoreTransformers are one of the most critical assets within an electricity network. Effective management of these assets – from initial specification, to online monitoring, maintenance and eventual replacement – is an increasingly complex task with costly implications.
