Online Dryout System (ODS)

Description: The Online Dry-Out Unit (TODOS) is a state-of-the-art transformer oil filtration machine engineered to enhance the quality of transformer oil by effectively removing moisture and contaminants while the transformer remains operational. Therefore, zero downtime, zero human intervention. This innovative system is crucial for maintaining high-quality insulating oil, which is essential for optimal transformer performance and longevity.

Capacities available: 300 to 1200 LPH

Operation: The Transformer Online Dry Out System (TODOS) operates continuously in an online mode, purifying transformer oil without interrupting power supply. It circulates oil from the coldest parts of the transformer through a multi-stage filtration process, utilizing high-efficiency cartridges and large-capacity molecular sieve filters to effectively remove moisture, solid particulates, and dissolved gases like acetylene and hydrogen. This system can be installed on both new and existing transformers, either permanently or temporarily, offering operational flexibility. Additionally, it monitors parts per million (PPM) levels and maintains NAS-4 cleanliness standards, providing real-time data for optimized maintenance. With easy cartridge replacement and minimal maintenance needs, TODOS is a reliable and user-friendly solution for transformer oil purification.

Description

Key Objectives:
• Continuous Operation: The system operates while the transformer remains in service, eliminating the need for shutdowns during moisture removal.
• Moisture Removal: Achieves moisture content reduction from over 5% to below 0.01%, significantly enhancing oil quality.
• Contaminant Removal: Filters out solid particles down to sub-micron levels, ensuring compliance with cleanliness standards (NAS 5 / ISO 15/12).
• Real-Time Monitoring: Equipped with sensors and monitoring devices that track moisture content, temperature, and other key parameters to provide real-time feedback on the transformer’s condition.
• Self-Regulating: Some systems are self-regulating, automatically adjusting to changes in moisture levels and operating conditions to optimize drying efficiency.
• Compact and Efficient: The system is typically compact and can be installed directly on the transformer, often requiring minimal space and integrating smoothly into existing transformer setups.

Applications:
• Power Utilities & Power Generation Plants: Ensuring reliable operation of transformers in power generation.
• Industrial Facilities: Providing efficient oil purification for transformers in manufacturing environments.
• Substations: Maintaining optimal performance in electrical substations.
• Maintenance Services: Portable filtration units available for on-site transformer maintenance.
