What should be the transformer to building separation distance for fire suppression?
Depends on size of transformer and type (dry,mineral oil, silicone) as well as ground slope and building construction.
Why oil is used in transformers?
Oil is used in transformers to insulate and cool the windings.since heat reduces the efficiency of every electrical machine, oil is used in transformer for example to cool and maintain the efficiency level of the transformer .
Why don't we use water in hydraulic systems instead of hydraulic oil?
Water can cause steel components to rust. Oil is much less corrosive.
What was the first oil well drilled in Texas called?
it was called oil well in Texas
Why are we not producing oil from oil shale?
The reason that oil shale is not used to produce oil is because this is what keeps the oil well from collapsing after the oil is removed. If the oil shale were mined, the oil well would collapse into a large trench in the ground.
What would an oil separator be used for?
An oil separator is a device designed to separate well fluids produced from oil and gas wells into gaseous and liquid components. The various components have different densities and this allows the oil separator to separate them.
How is underground oil used?
It is brought to the surface and taken to an oil refinery where the different components are separated, like heating oil, diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel. These are different fractions of the crude oil from the well.
How can crude oil be separated into its components?
It is separated by fractional distillation into the different components.
How do you separate components of crude oil with different boiling points?
Distillation
What is the process used to separate the different components of oil?
Fractional Distillation
Is an engine oil dipstick the same as an engine oil pan?
No. They are two very different components. The oil is mounted to the bottom of the engine block.
What temperature does crude oil evaporate?
Since crude oil contains a variety of hydrocarbon components of different molecular weights, there is no single evaporation temperature. As crude oil is heated the lower molecular weight components boil off first. At temperatures above 650°F the crude oil will begin the process of "cracking" in which the larger components thermally degrade into smaller components. If crude oil is heated in this manner in the absence of oxygen, a final solid product called petroleum coke will be left behind, which consists of carbon, as well as the other impurities in the crude oil that were not removed such as sulfur, vanadium, etc.
How are you going to purify the crude oil and what methods is used to separate mixture of oil?
Oil refineries use a technique known as fractional distillation, which involves separating different components of crude oil based on their different boiling points.

Can you convert an oil burning furnace to natural gas furnace?
Oil furnaces cannot be converted to gas - LP or natural - as they have totally different burners and have very different internal construction.
WHAT will happen if you run oil transformer with out oil?
As well as providing a cooling medium, transformer oil is also used to insulate a transformer. As its dielectric strength (how well it insulates) is much higher than air, it means that components within a transformer that are at different potentials can be placed much closer together if they are immersed in oil. So, operating an oil-filled transformer without oil will likely cause insulation breakdown within the transformer.
What are different types of oil?
Well for one thing there are 2 types of oil 1 gasoline oil and 2 cooking oil
