SEANAV supplies and services mercury and insulating fluids used in marine electrical and navigational systems. These specialized fluids play a vital role in ensuring safe, reliable performance in high-voltage and precision equipment. With our marine expertise, we provide certified products for insulation, heat dissipation, and arc suppression on ships and offshore platforms.
Reliable Mercury and Insulating Fluid Solutions for Marine Systems
In electrical systems, both mercury and insulating fluids are critical. Mercury, known for its conductivity and stability, is used in specific pressure and tilt sensors. On the other hand, insulating fluids are applied in transformers, switchgear, and various electronic modules to prevent breakdown, manage heat, and increase longevity. At SEANAV, we offer trusted supply, replacement, and handling services for both.
Where Are These Fluids Used on Marine Vessels?
These substances are common in gyrocompasses, radar systems, high-voltage switches, and some legacy marine instruments. Using the right grade of insulating liquid enhances system performance while reducing maintenance costs. Importantly, proper mercury disposal is also essential for environmental compliance, which SEANAV ensures through safe protocols.
