SPECIFICATIONS

Applications

UDAY transformer oil conditioning plants are suitable for

conditioning transformer oil and drying the transformer
insulation.
Conditioning of oil

The oil besides acting as a dielectric barrier also carries the heat
away. On the other hand it absorbs moisture and gases from the
atmosphere and solid insulation aging products during operation,
resulting in considerable decrease in its break down voltage,
insulation resistance factor and increase in dielectric loss factor.

Even commercial oil is seldom sufficiently pure for direct use in

high voltage equipment, being subject to contamination in
transport containers and liable to absorb unacceptable quantities
of moisture and gases because of contact with atmosphere.

The conditioning process eliminates the following contaminants

from the oil:

1.) Solid Impurities

2.) Dissolved Moisture
3.) Dissolved Gases

By filtration, dehydration and degasification the insulating

property that is break down voltage of the oil can be substantially
improved.

Filtration

A preliminary filter
(magnetic strainer) at the
oil inlet retains coarse dirt
and ferrous particles.
Finer filtration is achieved
by means of replaceable non-hygroscope throwaway filter
cartridges provided in the filter vessel. Since the cartridges are
progressively denser in the direction of filtration, the coarser
particles are arrested at the outer layers and the inner layers of
the cartridge arrest relatively finer particles. Hence due to
“progressive” filtering action the full depth of the cartridge
medium is utilised for dust holding, thereby ensuring long
cartridge life. The filter cartridges are compact and can be easily
replaced.

Degassing and Dehydration

Exhaustion of
degassing tank causes
moisture content of
oil to evaporate. The
water vapour and
gases released by the
oil are extracted out
from the degassing
chamber by the
vacuum pump. At the
entry into the
degassing tank, the oil is distributed and directed through
raschig rings columns. The packed raschig ring columns ensure
distribution of oil into a thin film thereby maximising exposure of
each particle of oil to vacuum.
Plant components

1.) Magnetic Strainer

This strainer consists of powerful magnet covered by wire mesh,
which protects inlet gear pump, by arresting coarse dirt and
ferrous particles. This strainer can be easily removed for
cleaning.

2.) Thermometer
Thermometer/s is provided for measuring the temperature of
the transformer oil

3.) Inlet Gear Pump

Gear pump pumps the oil

from transformers/storage
tanks in to the oil
conditioning system. Bye
pass valve is provided to
control the oil flow.

4.) Oil Heater

 The oil Heater comprises of
electrical heating elements
housed in sealed MS tubes.
To avoid any local
overheating of the oil, the
heater elements are
designed for very low
specific heat load per unit
surface area. The baffle
plates provided in the vessel
direct the oil at high velocity across the tubes, thus ensuring
efficient heat transfer and low heating surface temperature. The
heating elements are divided in to number of groups which are
controlled by control thermostat.
Total Cap.- 156 KW ,
Each Heater 3 KW
Bank – 03
Qty- 52 Heater

5.) Filter

The oil is filtered by special Non-Hygroscope filter cartridges,

which have a unique feature of filter medium being progressively
denser in the direction of the oil flow. Thus the coarser particles
are retained at the entry and as the oil progresses through the
cartridge increasingly finer particles are retained. Thus the full

depth of the medium is available for particle retention, thereby

ensuring the long cartridge life.
The condition of the filter cartridge is indicated by the pressure
gauge mounted on the inlet of filter vessel and the cartridges to
be replaced if the inlet oil pressure exceeds 2.5 KG/Sq.cm. The
filter vessel is provided with aeration valve, which is used at the
time of draining the plant.

Total Qty 24 no. 0.5 Micron

6.) Degassing Chamber

The optimally designed special degassing chamber consists,

columns of Raschig rings to ensure maximum exposure of oil to
the high vacuum, which causes free & dissolved water and gases
to evaporate from oil. Water vapour and gases thus released are
pumped away by the vacuum pump.

7.) Float Switch

A Float Switch is provided in the degassing chamber switches off

the inlet pump when the oil level increases beyond the stipulated
level in the degassing chamber, thereby preventing oil ingress
into the vacuum system.

8.) Centrifugal Pump without Gland

A specially designed Centrifugal pump without Gland is used as

discharge pump to pump out the conditioned oil from the
degassing chamber. The Gland less (without any rotary seal as the
pump is integral with the motor) feature of this pump ensures
maintenance free operation and total isolation of conditioned oil
from atmospheric contamination.

9.) Vacuum Pump With root pump 1 st stage

 The 1st stage
vacuum with root pump evacuates the degassing chamber and has
adequate throughput capacity and capable of achieving and
sustaining a high degree of vacuum required for degassing oil,
thereby ensuring the final quality of the oil. The vacuum pump is
provided with gas ballast valve, which prevents water
condensation inside the pump thus ensuring the pump oil to remain
dry and preventing corrosion of internal pump components.

10.) Vacuum Pump With root pump 2nd stage

The 2nd stage vacuum

with root pump evacuates the Transformer main tank and has
adequate throughput capacity and capable of achieving and
sustaining a high degree of vacuum required for Transformer
tank, thereby ensuring the final quality of the vacuum. The
vacuum pump is provided with gas ballast valve, which prevents
water condensation inside the pump thus ensuring the pump oil to
remain dry and preventing corrosion of internal pump components.

11.) Check Valves

The mechanical spring loaded check valves (NRV) ensure that the
degassing chamber is not flooded with oil either from the
transformer or from the storage tank when there is sudden
power failure.

12.) Control Cabinet

A sturdily built easily

accessible control cabinet
housing all the electrical
control gears like
contactor, starter, fuses,
push buttons, isolators,
interlocking features, etc.
is provided. All the wiring
is neatly routed and all
wire terminals are suitably identified with ferrules.
The control panel is provided with a mimic diagram indicating the
state of operation of vacuum pump, heaters, gear pump, glandless
centrifugal pump, etc. The mimic diagram is provided with
required indicating bulbs with switches.

13.) Safety Equipment

The gear pump is interlocked with the heater elements in such a

way that unless the gear pump is switched on, the heater
elements cannot be energized.

The gear pump and level monitor in the degassing chamber are
interlocked in such a way that when the oil/foam level in the
degassing chamber increases beyond the desired level, the gear
pump is put OFF, so that there is no more oil flow into the
degassing chamber.

Regulation thermostat provided puts OFF the connected heater

bank when the set temperature is reached.
