The museum plans to fully restore the glass bulb rectifiers on site to new condition this year, and Philippe saw a chance for Nynas to assist.
NYTRO® GEMINI X is a premium quality insulating oil developed for use in electrical equipment such as power rectifiers. While the glass bulb units are being restored, a specially designed diode rectifier located in a new substation will take over the power supply to the museum. The oil provided by Nynas will be utilised in the 11,000 volt circuit breakers.
By donating drums of NYTRO® GEMINI X for use in the project, Philippe hopes to support the museum as it looks to the future and moves into a new phase of development.
“The work carried out by Technical Officer John Lambert and the other volunteers at the museum is extraordinary, and it holds such a special place within the community,’’ he says.
“The museum maintains an important link to Brisbane’s history, bringing to life the way things were before, and it’s a pleasure for Nynas to be able to contribute.’’
