OIL PRESERVATION SYSTEM WITH AIR CELL

COMP. drg

ALL POWER TRANSFORMERS ARE INVARIABLY PROVIDED WITH AN EXPANSION

VESSEL CALLED CONSERVATOR TO TAKE CARE OF CHANGES IN OIL VOLUME. DUE TO
REF

CHANGE IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OR AS .A CONSEQUENCE OF CHANGES IN THE LOAD

ON THE TRANSFORMER. THE OIL LEVEL IN THE CONSERVATOR RISES OR FALLS,
RESULTING IN A PHENOMENON CALLED “BREATHING”.
The Information on this document is the property of BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED. It must not be

TO AVOID MOISTURE ENTERING INTO THE CONSERVATOR ALONG WITH AIR

DURING BREATHING, NORMALLY THE TRANSFORMER ARE FITTED WITH BREATHERS,
WHICH CONTAIN AN ABSORBENT MATERIAL LIKE SILICAGEL FOR ABSORBING THE
used directly or indirectly in any was detrimental to the interest of the Company.

MOISTURE PRESENT IN THE ATMOSPHERIC AIR. HOWEVER, SUCH BREATHERS CAN NOT
STOP THE ENTRY OF OXYGEN INTO THE TRANSFORMER WHICH IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR
OXIDATION AND CONSEQUENT DETERIORATION OF TRANSFORMER OIL. UNLESS
SILICAGEL CHARGE IS REGULARLY REPLACED OR REGENERATED, AIR ENTERING
COPYRIGHT AND CONFIDENTIAL

THROUGH BREATHER WILL CARRY MOISTURE AND WILL CONTAMINATE INSULATING

MATERIALS PARTICULARLY TRANSFORMER OIL.

IN THE OIL PRESERVATION SYSTEM AN AIR CELL MADE OF OIL RESISTANT

NITRILE RUBBER IS PLACED INSIDE THE CONSERVATOR AND FLOATS ON THE OIL
SURFACE. PLEASE SEE FIG-1 FOR GENERAL ARRANGEMENT OF THIS OIL SURFACE. THE AIR
CELL INFLATES OR DEFLATES AS THE OIL LEVEL IN THE CONSERVATOR FALL OR RISES
DEPENDING ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND LOAD ON THE TRANSFORMER. A BREATHER
IS SILL CONNECTED TO THE AIR CELL SO THAT IT IS ALWAYS AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
AND ALSO AIR ENTERING INTO IT IS DRY.

A MAGNETIC OIL GAUGE IS FITTED TO INDICATE OIL LEVEL IN THE

CONSERVATOR, FLOAT OF WHICH IS ALWAYS BENEATH THE AIR CELL. THIS GAUGE IS
ALSO PROVIDED WITH A SWITCH, WHICH GIVES ALARM WHEN OIL LEVEL. FALLS BELOW
THE MINIMUM OIL LEVEL OR WHEN AIR CELL IS DAMAGED AND SINKS.

THE ABOVE SYSTEM PREVENTS DIRECT CONTACT OF TRANSFORMER OIL WITH

ATMOSPHERIC AIR AND RETARDS OXIDATION & SLUDGING, THEREBY GREATLY
REDUCING THE OIL DETERIORATION / MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS AT SITE. MAINTENANCE
OF THE SYSTEM ALSO NEGLIGIBLE, SINCE ONCE IN OPERATION, IT GENERALLY NEEDS NO
ATTENTION OTHER THAN ROUTINE VISUAL INSPECTION.
