Transformer oil degradation is a major cause of power transformer failures. One of the biggest threats is dissolved gases (like methane, hydrogen, and acetylene), which form due to thermal and electrical stress. A 6000LPH high vacuum transformer oil purifier plays a crucial role in removing these gases, preventing insulation breakdown and extending transformer lifespan.
Why Dissolved Gases Are Dangerous:
Partial discharge & arcing: Gas bubbles reduce dielectric strength, leading to internal faults.
Oxidation acceleration: Gases like oxygen and nitrogen degrade oil quality over time.
Sludge formation: Gas byproducts combine with moisture to form sludge, clogging cooling ducts.
How the 6000LPH High Vacuum Purifier Works:
Multi-Stage Filtration: Removes solid particles (1-5 microns) that can trap gases.
High Vacuum Dehydration: Heats oil to 50-60°C and subjects it to <0.1 mbar vacuum, vaporizing moisture and dissolved gases.
Degassing Chamber: Specialized vacuum columns force gases to separate from oil via low viscosity and high surface exposure.
Polishing Filtration: Final pass through molecular sieve filters ensures ultra-clean oil.
Case Study Example:
A power substation in [Industry] reported frequent transformer overheating. After installing a 6000LPH purifier, dissolved gas levels dropped by 90%, and DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) tests showed stable oil conditions for over 12 months.
Conclusion:
Regular oil purification with a high-capacity vacuum system is a cost-effective way to prevent transformer failures. A 6000LPH machine ensures rapid processing, making it ideal for large substations and industrial plants.
