Shell Diala S4 ZX-I
Premium inhibited Electrical Insulating Oilbased on Shell GTL technology for transformers
Product Description
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is the new electrical insulating oil from Shell designed to meet the challenges presented by the latest power transformers. It offers an extended oil life with the peace of mind of zero Sulphur content. Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is manufactured from zero Sulphur base oils produced using Shell’s GTL (gas-to-liquid) technology.
These base oils offer a high degree of compositional consistency and have an excellent response to anti-oxidant. In-addition, they are globally available and free from PCBs, DBDs and passivators. Shell Diala S4 ZX-I meets both the established and new industry copper corrosion tests.
It is also known that it is used as Immersion Cooling Fluid for cooling servers as used in cloud computing, blockchain and crypto mining.
This base oil is characterized by a uniform molecular structure and a very good response of antioxidants. It is globally available and independent of different crude oil deposits due to its manufacturing process. Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is free of PCB, DBDS and Passivators.
Benefits
- Extended oil life
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is an inhibited insulating oil that performs exceptionally well in industry-standard oxidation tests and provides extended oil life. It is particularly suitable for use in high-load applications.
- Transformer protection
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is made from a sulfur-free * base oil, which significantly reduces the risk of copper corrosion, even without the addition of passivators or other additives.
All relevant copper corrosion tests are met: DIN 51353 (silver strip test), ASTM D1275 and the new tests IEC 62535 and ASTM D1275B. More reliability due to a higher flash point. * Sulfur content is below 1 ppm (detection limit of · ASTM D5185).
Moreover, we know that Shell Diala S4 ZX I is also used as Immersion Cooling Fluid for cooling servers as used in crypto mining Cloud computing and blockchain technology.
- System Efficiency
The very good flowability at low temperatures of Shell Diala S4 ZX-I enables safe heat transfer in transformers, even at low starting temperatures.
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is manufactured and dried by a special process, which gives it a low water content and a high breakdown voltage on delivery. This allows the use of the oil without additional “drying” in many applications.
