- Allelys have successfully completed the transport and installation of a 113te reactor for Frodsham substation.
The reactor, measuring 6.5m (l) x 2.7m (w) x 4m (h) was received at Immingham port and transported to Frodsham using 12 axle lines of modular trailers.
Hands up if Secrets of the Motorway brought you here
You guys really do know your stuff and are so much more than just a heavy haulage outfit. Fascinating!
nice one mark
What's an "electricity reactor"?
Nice video...
I think this is part of the cooling system for the transformers. Reactors aren't always "nuclear"! Most reactors are used in chemical processes. In this case (and my electrical power knowledge is decades old) you can use chemical processes to cool things. Big power transformers are cooled oil in their primaries, and then you need to cool the oil. You can do that with radiators or by running it through some sort of secondary circuit.
Back in the 1970's I worked with some of this stuff for TV studio lighting which involved megawatts of power and cooling. Modern lighting is so much more effecient. I major drama studio in the early 70's had about 2MW of lighting and about the same amount of AC to get rid of the heat!
@@sadiqmohamed681 No, it's not that. If you wanted to use chemical reactions to cool the transformers, you'd have to continuously feed them with reactants.
It's a thing called a "shunt reactor". I don't understand AC transmission systems, so the following might be 75% nonsense but... There seems to be the concept of a "reactive load", which is related to capacitance and inductance within the system. Because of the ways that capacitors and inductors react to changing current (and AC current changes continously), reactive loads causes the voltage and current waveforms to get out of sync. That's bad because [reasons], and a shunt reactor is designed to fix it.
Könnte so ein schönes Video sein, würde die Musik nicht so nerven.
