Dew Points of C₄F₈/N₂ Gas Mixtures

Abstract:

C₄F₈/N₂ gas mixtures are possible substitutes for SF₆, because of its good insulation characteristics and low influence to environment. The thrust of this paper is to verify the dew point of C₄F₈ and C₄F₈/N₂ gas mixtures, the dew points of C₄F₈/N₂ mixtures are achieved using experimentally measuring and theory calculating method. The experimental data obtained is compared to that predicted from the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, Trouton’s rule and vapor pressure equation. The results show that the experimental data verify well with the predictions. So the prediction method can be used to predict the dew point of C₄F₈/N₂ gas mixtures for different charging pressures.
