Redragon - Model HVD Series -High Vacuum Degasifier System
The HVD series of degasifiers uses the only known method for reducing all three primary contaminants by treating the transformer oil; the thermo-vacuum process. Transformer oil is drawn in to the degasifier by means of low pressure created either by an inlet pump of a vacuum pump or combination or both. The oil is heated to reduce its viscosity and allow it flow through the rest of the system at a lower pressure. A magnetic strainer typically removes coarse particles larger than 20 microns. This is the first stage required to remove the solid contamination. The filtered oil is fed into a vacuum chamber where, due to the reduced pressure above the liquid, dissolved water is vaporized. The reduced pressure also facilitates the removal of any entrained gases in the oil.
- The range lends itself to customization including:
- Mechanical vacuum pumps can be rotary vane or rotary piston
- Vacuum performance can be enhanced through use of a Roots booster Oil Pumps can be centrifugal or positive displacement
- Gauging can be digital or analogue
- System can be skid mounted or fitted inside a trailer Operational control can be switch-and relay-logic or PLC with touch screen
- Online test and monitoring equipment such as hydrometers, dielectric breakdown devices, gas content meters, flow meters, thermocouples, pressure transducers, differential pressure switches and data loggers can be added.
- Mobile units can be equipped with hose reels, power cable reels, aboratories, offices, crew quarters and generators
- Units can be supplied for operation on energized transformers complete with an automatic transformer oil level system
