The Development and the Field Application of the On-Line Dry Ice Washing Vehicle System

Abstract: In order to wash the polluted substation insulator quickly and safely, so as to improve the reliability of substation systems, an on-line dry ice washing system which would be applied in 220 kV voltage level was developed. Based on the results of the indoor simulation tests which provided the optimal washing parameters, the on-line dry ice system was developed. Moreover, a trial test was run in a 220 kV substation belonging to Hubei State Grid. The test results show that the vehicle system can meet the requirements of on-line washing tasks in 220 kV substation. Therefore, the washing system features advanced technology, excellent performance, and promotional value.
