Silica gel adsorber for transformers, model XSII

Reliable Moisture Protection for Transformers

Transformers are sensitive systems, whose insulating oil loses quality significantly due to moisture penetrating from the surrounding air. When humidity enters the system, the breakdown voltage of the oil decreases, which can lead to costly outages and maintenance work. An effective air drying system is therefore essential for safe operation.

Functionality of the Silica Gel Adsorber

This Silica Gel Adsorber, model XSII, has been specifically designed for use with transformers. It acts as a breathing filter, thoroughly drying the air that is drawn into the oil expansion tank while the transformer cools down. The silica gel inside binds moisture from the air before it comes into contact with the insulating oil.

The model is available in various designs, including options for single or double breathing, to meet the specific requirements of different transformer types. By using this adsorber, the insulating oil remains dry and its insulating properties are preserved. This significantly extends the lifespan of the transformer and reduces the need for frequent oil changes or elaborate drying processes.

Advantages of the Adsorber

• Protection of Insulating Oil: Effectively prevents moisture penetration and preserves insulating properties.
• Longer Lifespan: Helps to protect internal components and reduces wear.
• Maintenance Optimization: Reduces the need for frequent oil tests and treatments.
• Robust Design: Specifically designed for the demanding conditions of transformers.
• Flexible Application: Available in various capacities for different system sizes.

Integration in Plant Technology

The adsorber is mounted directly on the oil expansion tank of the transformer. It is designed to support the natural breathing process of the transformer during temperature fluctuations while continuously cleaning the incoming air. This is a proven method to ensure operational safety in energy technology.
