Question:

Can the transformer oil be used as a lubricant?

Want to use in the air compressor, I do not know it?

Answer:

Can not! Two kinds of oil indicators out of the thousands of miles out! According to you say with the line also do more money to prepare for the machine! Oh! Looking for compressor oil, general 13 # compressor oil and 19 # Compressor oil! 13 with dilute words on the 19 # must be no problem!
Transformer oil can not be lubricating oil, because the main role of transformer oil insulation is not lubrication. The main role of transformer oil: (1) insulation: transformer oil has much higher than the air insulation strength. Insulation material immersed in oil, not only can improve the insulation strength, but also from the erosion of moisture. (2) heat dissipation: transformer oil specific heat, often used as coolant. Transformers run the heat generated close to the core and the winding of the oil heat up and down, through the oil up and down convection, heat dissipated through the radiator to ensure the normal operation of the transformer. (3) arc suppression effect: In the oil circuit breaker and transformer on-load regulator switch, the contact will produce an arc switch. As the transformer oil thermal conductivity is good, and in the arc under the action of high temperature can touch a lot of gas, resulting in greater pressure, thereby enhancing the dielectric arc performance, so that the arc quickly extinguished.
Can not. Because the main role of transformer oil insulation is not lubrication. Its water absorption is strong.
