The insulator is a key component of a steam-generating boiler, the power generating industry must pay attention to insulator maintenance to keep it from flashovers. Because most of the insulators are made of porcelain, glass, or epoxy when it is severely contaminated it will be vulnerable to flashover. PLTU ADIPALA is one of the electric steam power plants in Indonesia, needs to keep the insulators cleaned regularly or protect them with silicon paste, which needs to be replaced every 1-2 years, depending on the degree of contamination. They found out each year of replacement is wasting so much money and time. It also reduces their performance.
To protect the insulators and extend the lifetime PLTU ADIPALA decide to use Cosmostar A1300 airless sprayer to spray silicon for rubber insulation. The benefit of using this system long term resistance & protection against flashover in several types of pollution & environmental condition. Also, provide long-term hydrophobicity. A1300 Pneumatic airless sprayer allows silicone liquid materials equally painted on the surface with less waste and time.
