Introduction to Transformer Accessories Dehumidifier

Purpose of Moisture Absorber:
Transformer Moisture Absorbers, also known as dehumidifiers, are used to remove and dry debris and moisture from the air of the oil conservator to ensure the insulation strength of the transformer oil. Moisture absorbers can be divided into white silicone moisture absorbers and color changing silicone moisture absorbers according to silica gel; According to function, it can be divided into ordinary (or single suction) hygroscopics and dual breathing hygroscopics. The silica gel color of the moisture absorber is: white, blue, two models: 0.1kg, 0.2kg, 0.5kg, 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 5kg, 10kg

Technical parameters:
Applicable environment: - 30~43 ℃;
Ventilation resistance: ≤ 0.01Mpa;
Adsorption material: fine pore silica gel 75%, color developing silica gel 25%, material particles φ 2-6mm;
Adsorption capacity (at 20 ℃):
1. Blue silicone is a color changing silicone that turns red when exposed to moisture and turns blue after drying. It can be used repeatedly and is usually used in a visible place, such as a moisture absorber under an oil conservator, to absorb moisture entering the air in the transformer.
2. The white silica gel is ordinary silica gel, which remains white after being damped. It is usually used in the thermal (natural circulation) oil filter of the entire transformer, and its amount is calculated based on the total amount of transformer oil. It absorbs moisture from the oil and can also be reused after drying.

Purpose of the moisture remover:
On transformers, moisture absorbers are usually used in conjunction with oil conservators, filled with adsorbent, silica gel, or activated alumina. Calcium chloride has been used in the past, and an oil container is provided at the bottom to filter and remove impurities and moisture in the inhaled air. Silica gel is often used as an adsorbent, in which a portion of the discolored silica gel is often placed. When the discolored silica gel changes from blue to light red, it indicates that the adsorbent has become damp and must be replaced or dried.
Once the transformer comes into direct contact with the atmosphere, it absorbs impurities and moisture in the air, and the transformer oil of the entire compiler deteriorates. Especially for transformers above 100KVA, their volume is relatively large, their contact surfaces are also wide, and the transformer oil is susceptible to moisture. At this time, the adsorbent on the moisture absorber will absorb the moisture to ensure the normal operation of the transformer. Otherwise, the power supply emergency repair personnel will not be able to observe the change in transformer oil color at the first time.
Once the transformer oil becomes damp, if the power supply emergency repair personnel can hear the abnormal sound emitted inside the transformer, conduct a comprehensive "physical examination" of the transformer using a single or double bridge and a megger. If the fact that the insulation oil does not meet the standard is discovered, it is still time to suspend the core of the transformer. Otherwise, if left unattended for a long time, it will not only burn out the transformer, but also affect the safe, reliable, and stable operation of other live lines.

Therefore, in order to better protect the transformer, please do not neglect the installation of the moisture absorber
