W. MAINTAINING THE RESISTIVITY OF INSULATING MEMBERS IN ENERGIZED ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT Filed April 6, 1965 m aw United States Patent 3,271,903 MAINTAINING THE RESIS'IIVITY 0F INSULAT- ING MEMBERS IN ENERGIZED ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT William C. Gregory, 438 W. Laurel St., Compton, Calif. Filed Apr. 6, 1965, Ser. No. 446,798 6 Claims. ((11. 51-8) This application is a continuation-in-part of my application Serial No. 103,488, filed April 17, 1961, now abancloned,
This invention relates to a means for maintaining the resistivity of energized electric equipment and reducing the likelihood of injury to maintenance personnel due to electrical shock. More particularly, the means used for maintaining resistivity includes apparatus for spraying nonconductive coatings and the like on electric equipment wherein the operator of such apparatus is provided with controls which are entirely separated from the spray nozzle of the apparatus by non-conductive material.
Prior to my invention, difiiculty was often experienced by maintenance personnel attempting to maintain the resistivity of high voltage insulators when the associated electrical equipment was energized. The likelihood that a spark would jump to an operator of maintenance apparatus working near such electrical equipment made such a job extremely hazardous. When electrical volt-ages are high a spark can jump a considerable gap of insulator material and, in fact, can travel a considerable distance in air, particularly if it contains a significant amount of water vapor. Also, often a significant amount of nonconductive coating material was wasted during the previous spraying operations due to the coating material being blown away by the wind.
Thus, in order to alleviate these problems and others in the prior art, it is a primary object of this invention to provide apparatus for spraying equipment near high voltage electricity which will permit an operator of the apparatus to control the spraying a safe distance from the high voltage electricity so that only non-conductive material is between the spray nozzle and the operator of the spraying apparatus.
A further object of this invention is to provide spraying apparatus in which a rod of non-conductive material is connected between the spray nozzle and the controls.
A still further object of this invention is to dehydrate the air used to spray fluid in apparatus to be used near high voltage electricity.
It is another object of this invention to provide a means for treating insulators while said insulators are supporting electrically energized wires.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a means for saving at least a portion of over-spray coating material.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will hereinafter appear from the following illustrated description.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a schematic view of an embodiment of this invention having separate tanks for fluids and air connected by long tubes to the spraying means.
FIGURE 2 is a detailed, partially fragmented view of the apparatus shown in FIGURE 1.
When spraying electrically energized equipment with material to maintain resistivity it has often been found that air contains enough water that it too must be removed in order to provide a satisfactory non-conducting connection between the spray nozzle and the operator of the spraying equipment. FIGURES 1 and 2 illustrate a preferred embodiment of equipment utilizing compressed air and a means for removing the water from the air. Referring to the general schematic drawing in FIGURE 1,
telephone pole 61 supports the electrically energized equipment to be sprayed such as insulator 63 at the top of the pole 61. Thus, the material being sprayed passes through the hollow non-conductive rod 65 and out spray outlet 67 onto the electrically energized equipment. The fluid being sprayed flows up a flexible conduit or pipe 71 and the air which causes the fluid to be sprayed out the spray nozzle 67 flows up a separate conduit pipe 69. Thus, a spray operator 73 can hold an end of non-conductive rod 65 near the control 75 and spray material at a safe distance from spray nozzle 67.
In such a system air can be compressed by a standard air compressor 77 which compresses air to 100 pounds p.s.i. Thus, such compressed air would pass out the outlet line 69 into the air dryer 79 where a satisfactory amount of water is removed. Then this dehydrated air will pass into a metering reservoir 81 where a specified amount of abrasive material can be added to the air. From there the air, with abrasive material added to it, will pass up the air tube 69 as previously described. Between the air dryer 79 and the metering reservoir 81 is a diversion outlet 83. This air under pressure can be diverted to grease reservoir 85 and solvent reservoir 87 so as to force predetermined amounts of grease and solvent out fluid tube 71 until it is sprayed out nozzle 67. The grease is preferably a water-repellent material such as a pure carbon compound or a silicon-carbon compound in the form of a gel or viscous compound. The viscosity of the grease may be controlled by dispersing liquid hydrocarbon solvents therein. To protect against a possible fire or explosion the solvent may be a halogenated hydrocarbon.
This apparatus is illustrated in more detail in FIGURE 17. Thus, compressed air will enter from air pipe 69 into air dryer 79 through air dryer inlet 95. Though various means for drying air could be used I have found this particular apparatus suit-able for my purposes. After the air enters air dryer 79 at inlet it passes down a spiral chamber 97 peripherally located Within the air dryer 79. Centrally located within air dryer 79 is a cylinder 99 within which is a hollow canister 101 containing drying particles 103. I have found drying particles of aluminum oxide to be particularly satisfactory. This canister 101 is filled with these drying particles and is designed to fit snugly within cylinder 99.
However, there is a small space between the outside walls of the canister 101 and the inside of the cylinder 99. Thus, as the air travels down the spiral chamber 97 and reaches the bottom of the air dryer 79 it can pass up the inside walls of the cylinder 99 in the space between the canister 101 contained therein and the inside walls of the cylinder 99. After the air has passed up the length of the cylinder it will reach an expansion chamber 105 at the top of the air dryer 79. Since there is space between the aluminum oxide particles in the canister and the top and bottom of the canister have openings the air and the expansion chamber 105 will then pass down the canister between aluminum oxide particles within the canister and out the air dryer outlet 109. After following this tortuous path in the air dryer 79 a sufficient amount of water will be removed from the air to prevent any high voltage electricity from passing through such air. Water that is removed from the air and collects at the bottom of the air dryer 79 can be let out through the water outlet 107.
The now dehydrated air from the air dryer 78 will pass down air tube 69 to the metering valve 111. By suitable adjustment of this metering valve 111 air can be made to flow through the feed line 113 into the metering reservoir 81. Thus since the metering reservoir 81 is a closed container the abrasive powder 115 contained therein can be forced out outlet line 117 and into the air tube 69. This abrasive powder 115 should be a material that is soft enough not to scratch the glaze on the glass insulators. I have found that powdered calcium carbonate dolomite or nearly any carbonate or sulphate which is insoluble in water to be suitable for this purpose. If it is necessary to equalize pressure between the line 69 and the metering reservoir 81, during the operation of this spraying apparatus, relief line 119 can be opened through valve 111 so as to form a recirculation system between the metering reservoir 81 and the line 69. Sometimes it is found necessary to shake the powdered material contained within the reservoir 81 in order to permit it to be forced out the outlet 117. Thus, an air piston operated agitator 123, in turn, is connected through agitator connector 125 to the metering reservoir 121, and when turned on shakes the powdered abrasive material 115 to a position where it can be forced out line 117.
Thus, when the dehydrated air leaves the metering reservoir 81, it will contain a predetermined amount of abrasive material in a powdered form and pass through air tube 69 until it reaches valve 127 where an operator can control the amount of dehydrated air containing the abrasive material which he desires to allow to be ejected out the spray nozzle 67. It should be noted that the positions where the air control valve 127 is located and the spray nozzle 67 is located are connected entirely by spray nozzle. And because the air has been dehydrated it will not be able to conduct high voltage electricity back to an operator holding the rod 65 near the controls 127.
As noted previously, between the air dryer 79 and the metering reservoir 81 there is a diversion outlet 83. Thus, by opening the diversion valve 129 compressed air can flow down diversion conduit 131 into grease reservoir 85 and solvent reservoir 87. This air will tend to force the grease and solvent in these reservoirs out the fluid tubes 71. The proportion of grease and solvent which flows in the fluid tubes 71 is controlled by adjusting grease valve 133 and solvent valve 135. The grease and solvent become mixed after they pass valve 137. Mixing valve 137 is also located near the end of the non-conductive rod 65 which is remote from the spray nozzle 67. Therefore, an operator spraying with this equipment can control the amount of fluid being sprayed without being near the spray nozzle 67. The fluid in line 71 and the air in line 69 merge at spray nozzle 67 which can be adjusted to vary the proportion of fluid to air. Thus, the fluid containing grease and solvent and the dehydrated air containing abrasive particles are sprayed in the quantity and proportion desired by varying the aforementioned valves.
Referring to FIGURE 1, in order to avoid waste of fluid due to wind diverting the spray a shield operator 89 can hold a shield 93 by means of a non-conductive shield handle 91.
While a particular embodiment of this invention has been illustrated and described, modifications thereof will readily occur to those skilled in the art. It should be understood, therefore, that the invention is not limited to the particular arrangement disclosed. but that the appended claims are intended to cover all modifications which do not depart from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
