Study of the solubility of gases in rapeseed oil as an insulating material

The Solubility coefficients of the main diagnostic gases in commodity rapeseed oil have been determined experimentally at various temperatures. The largest differences between the solubility of gases in transformer and rapeseed oils has been detected for ethane and acetylene, ethane being less soluble in rapeseed oil, and acetylene, more soluble. An initial estimation of the application of the liquid as an insulating material in oil-filled electrical equipment has been performed.
