Desiccant and Indicator Gels

What is a desiccant and indicator gel?

In power generation, desiccants and indicator gels are essential in maintaining the efficiency and reliability of equipment such as gas turbines, steam turbines, and transformers. Desiccants absorb moisture from the air and prevent condensation within the equipment, that leads to corrosion, insulation degradation, and electrical failures. This moisture control helps to maintain optimal operating conditions and extends the lifespan of critical components. Indicator gels, often containing moisture-sensitive dyes, serve as visual indicators of humidity levels within equipment enclosures.
