Abstract

SF6 gas is an essential component of modern switchgear due to its unique insulating and arc-quenching properties. Unfortunately, it is also an expensive gas and a potent greenhouse agent. Australian utilities have encountered two distinct problems with the management of SF6. Firstly, utilities accumulate partly filled bottles of gas from new installations and also as a result of maintenance activities. Secondly, utilities capture the SF6 when it is removed from switchgear, but this gas may be heavily contaminated. The utilities cannot reuse gas of uncertain quality in switchgear, but disposal is both difficult and expensive. This paper describes the initial experiences of using a new system based on cryogenic techniques for consolidating both small quantities of gas and also removing contamination, including air, from used gas. The recycled gas is suitable for reuse in switchgear.
