What are the reasons for the large current difference in electrodesalination transformers?
Thread Content
Electrodesalination involves dual oil inlets and dual electric fields. A single electrodesalination tank is equipped with 3 transformers; when the transformers are set to the same voltage level, their currents still differ significantly from one another. What could be the reason for this? I seek expert advice.
Personally, I think it’s because the mixture of oil and water is not uniform
It may be due to untimely backwashing, resulting in sediment accumulation in the electrodialysis tank; the thickness of this sediment at the oil inlet is high, which reduces the time available for oil and water separation. As a result, the water content in the crude oil increases, leading to an increase in current flow.
