Transformer Oil Dehydration Machine
This transformer oil dehydration machine is especially suitable for treating new and old transformer oil, which contains moisture, gas, particles, impurities, and acidic substances. The double-stage transformer oil dehydration plant serves to improve the properties of insulation oil. It eliminates the acid nature, over moisture, traces of water, dissolved gases, and particulate matter from the insulation il effectively and rapidly.

The Danger of Moisture in Transformer Oil
Moisture in transformer oil leads to a number of undesirable consequences:
- Intensive aging of insulating paper.
- Decreases dielectric strength and partial discharge stability.
- Accelerates the oxidation of transformer oil.
- Increased carbon formation by electric arcing.
- Increased corrosion of transformer metal parts.
- The fluidity of the oil is reduced at higher temperatures.
The above problems can be solved by the transformer oil dehydration machine.
The Form of Moisture in Transformer Oil
In transformer oil, water mainly exists in three forms: dissolved water, suspended water, and sedimentary water.
Oil temperature has a great influence on the existence of moisture in transformer oil. When the oil temperature is high, the water in the oil is mainly dissolved water. If the water reaches the saturated solubility in the oil, it will become supersaturated due to the drop of the oil temperature and form extremely tiny water droplets suspended in the oil and become suspended water. When there is too much-suspended water, it will aggregate into large water droplets and separate from the oil, and deposit on the bottom of the oil to form sedimentary water.
Where does the Moisture in the Transformer Oil Come from?
- Petroleum products themselves have a certain degree of water absorption and can absorb and dissolve a part of the water from the atmosphere.
- During the process of packaging, transportation, and storage, transformer oil may enter moisture if it is not kept properly.
What are the Adverse Effects of Moisture on the Electrical Properties of Insulating Oil?
- Moisture has great harm to the electrical properties and physical and chemical properties of the insulating medium. Moisture reduces the breakdown voltage of transformer oil. It is reported that when the water content in the oil is 0.01%, the breakdown voltage is about 15KV, and when the water content is increased to 0.03%, the breakdown voltage drops to about 6KV. At the same time, moisture also has a significant effect on the dielectric loss factor. When the water content in the oil is 0.03%, the dielectric loss factor is 1*10-2, and when the water content increases by 15 times, that is, 0.10%, the dielectric loss factor increases to 2.1*10-2.
- Moisture will promote the corrosive effect of organic acids on metals such as copper and iron. The resulting saponification will deteriorate the oil’s dielectric loss factor, increase the oil’s moisture absorption, and accelerate the oxidation of the oil.
