Definitions
- the present invention aims at enabling transformer oil to be treated while the transformer is live, but obviating, or at least reducing, down-time of the transformer.
- the present invention provides an oilinsulated electrical transformer which is as claimed in the appended claims.
- a transformer casing 2 houses the windings and insulating oil of the transformer, electrical connection to the transformer windings being effected by means of insulating bushings 4.
- a conduit 6 leading through a valve 8 to a filter vessel 10 which 'is designed to remove from the oil at least a high proportion, if not all, of any solid particles in suspension in, or entrained by, the oil stream.
- the filtered oil stream passes along conduit 6 and through a flowcontrol valve 12 to the upper partof a vacuum treatment vessel 14, having a central compartment 16 in which are packed Raschig rings or other column fillers 17 over which the oil to be treated flows in a thin film.
- the oil is subjected to vacuum by means of a vacuum pump 18 driven by an electric motor 20.
- P0- sitioned in the lower part of vessel 14 is a level-sensing switch 22.
- the conduit 6 leading from the bottom of vessel 14 passes through an oil pump 24 and a permanent magnet filter 26 to a discharge valve 28. From valve 28 the treated oil passes through a valve 30 before reentering the interior of casing 2.
- control unit 32 which is connected to valve 8; motor a vacuum gauge 21; level-sensing switch 22, and pump 24.
- control unit 32 acts to open valve 8 when the level of contamination of the oil in chamber 2 reaches a chosen value. It is also effective to monitor the degree of vacuum in vessel 14 and to start the vacuum pump when the pressure in the interior of vessel 14 rises to too high a value. It is also effective to switch the vacuum pump off when the pressure in vessel 14 has fallen to a chosen minimum level.
- Control unit 32 is also effective to energise pump 24 when the level-sensing switch 22 indicates that there is sufficient volume of vacuum-treated and filtered oil in the bottom of the vessel 14.
- the discharge valve 28 can be operated either automatically or manually as need arises.
- the temperature of the contaminated oil to be treated is raised to about 4565C. At this temperature the surface tension of the oil is sufficiently low to allow any absorbed gases or vapours to be desorbed by the application of a suitable degree of vacuum in vessel 14.
- the oil is raised to this treatment temperature by the waste heat normally released by the transformer windings when it is operating. If the oil does not normally reach the desired treatment temperature, or if it falls below this temperature under adverse weather conditions, it is within the purview of the present invention to incorporate an auxiliary heater 34 in conduit 6 before filter 10.
- the heater In view of the relatively large mass of oil required to be treated, the heater will be of insufficient capacity to heat all the oil in casing 2 from ambient temperature to the treatment temperature, so that the major proportion of the heat necessary would be supplied by the transformer windings. This leads to a substantial reduction in the expense of the degassing equipment, in that the heater can be of very low rating compared with that necessary for existing mobile servicing units.
- the degree of contamination of the oil can be monitored either continuously or intermittently, and the results of the monitoring can be used to cause control unit 32 to switch on the treatment unit when the degree of contamination has risen to a specified level.
- control unit 32 it might be desirable in some circumstances to keep the treatment unit operating continuously so that any contaminants are removed more or less immediately after they appear in the oil.
- An oil insulated electrical transformer including a casing having an outlet permanently communicating its interior with vacuum degassing apparatus for treatment of the oil while the transformer is live, means for feeding oil to the degassing apparatus, and returning treated oil to the interior of the casing, either continually or intermittently, the degassing apparatus including a compartment containing packed column fillers over which the oil can flow in thin films, said compartment being connected to a vacuum pump, a control unit operatively connected between the compartment and vacuum pump to turn the vacuum pump on when the pressure in the compartment is above a chosen maximum; and to turn the pump off when the pressure is below a chosen minimum, a valve located at the outlet of the casing and controlling flow of oil from the interior of the casing, said control unit opening the valve when the contamination in the oil in the casing reaches a chosen level, and a second valve located at the inlet of the casing and controlling the flow of treated oil toward the interior of the casing.
