Vacuum Drying Plant (Conventional Drying)

In this process core coil assembly or complete assembly of Transformer put in a vacuum chamber
for heating with the help of electrical (direct) or indirect by means of thermic fluid oil (Heat transfer
oil) and then moister is removed with the help of vacuum pumps.

In the vacuum drying (Conventional Drying) process, the water in the insulation is a vanishing form
of vapour due to vacuum pump utilization and compile through condenser in the water form. This
water capacity is noted down at the regular intervals.
The Complete Drying module divided into in sub modules Eg. Heating module, vacuum pumping.
Scavenging is piped and pre tested in our workshop.

Vapour Phase Drying Plant:

The Vacuum Drying Plant (Conventional) and Vapour Phase Drying Plant are generally based on
same principle. Reducing the pressure leads to a lowering boiling point, which causes the dissolved
water in the transformers active part to vaporize.

This method currently adopts most effective drying process for the active parts of power
transformers. The entire drying process takes place in a special plant design, in a vacuum and using
solvent. In this process, careful consideration must be given to the relationship between vacuum,
steam pressure and temperature.

Advantages of Vapour Phase Drying Plant

 Most efficient method of drying the power transformers.

 Energy saving due to shorter and more efficient drying method.

 50 – 70 % reduction of drying time.

 Less de-polymerization of insulation paper due to drying under vacuum.

 Cleaning of the active part from old transformer oil during heating up and drying.

 Less residual moisture in the insulation - compared to conventional drying (<0, 3%)

The Vapour Phase Drying plant are divided into sub modules. Each Module e.g. Solvent storage,
evaporator heating, solvent separation and condensation are completely piped, wired and pre-
tested at our workshop. This concept convince with a fast, easy and safe installation of the plant

The basic operation of the vapour phase drying plant involves following phases.
Rough Vacuum Phase
Heating phase
Intermediate pressure reduction phase
Pressure lowering phase
Fine vacuum phase
Transformer core and coil is evacuated less than 10mbar by means of vacuum pumping unit, solvent
is vaporized by means of evaporator, and vapours are allowed to spread on the transformer coils, in
order to remove moisture intermediate pressure reduction stages are performed then fine vacuum
is applied to extract the moisture and vapour.
Vacuum Pressure Impregnation

The electrical conductors are wrapped with several layers of insulating tape that must be fully
soaked with the impregnation resin/varnish. The vacuum pressure impregnation method involves
pressurizing the impregnation vessel after the vacuum, so that dead spots are completely filled,
especially inside the insulation.

In Vacuum pressure impregnation process, the space between electrical steel are filled with
resin/varnish, which is why this process is also attractive for the low voltage and transformer
impregnation.

Transformer Oil filtration machine:

Transformer oil when untreated will normally contains 50 to 60PPM (parts per million) of water and
also 10 to 12% of air by volume at saturation. In order to bring required standards, it has to be
filtered to remove moisture, dissolved gases, ferrous and non- ferrous suspended particles so as to
achieve the required properties of oil.

The high vacuum transformer oil filtration machine treats the transformer oil and switchgear oil by
first heating it and the passing it through specially designed filters and then subjecting it to high
vacuum treatment which dehydrates and degasifies the oil to the standard specifications after
completion of process.

Heating Oven for Transformers:

Transformer heating oven is used for lowering the concentration of moisture that gets absorbed or
trapped in the core coil assembly/ insulation paper of transformers. Warming of heaters can be done
by electric heaters or gas. Air flow fans additionally given to get uniform temperature anywhere
throught the space inside. The temperature is controlled by thyristor and PID controller from room
temperature to 200 Deg C. A loading trolley is given to hold the drying task that are moved inside or
outside of oven by manually or motorized. Heating ovens are available in various sizes based on the
customer requirement.

MATERIAL HANDLING PRODUCTS:

 Pneumatic Conveying System.

 Rotary Air Lock Valves

Pneumatic Conveying System:

The principle of pneumatic conveying is based on the fact that bulk goods can be moved by means
of air through pipelines. The flowing conveying air transmits a propulsion force on the bulk
material and thus conveys it through the conveying line. The pneumatic conveying always requires a
pressure difference between the beginning and the end of the pipeline. To overcome this pressure
difference, conveying blowers or compressors are used.

PROVAC offer following types of Pneumatic Conveying System for wide range of applications:

Vacuum dilute/lean phase

Pressure dilute/lean phase

Dilute phase conveying is a continuous, high-velocity, low pressure and high air to product loading
ratio process. The process is facilitated by the pushing or pulling of air-suspended materials through
an airstream velocity. The system can be designed as a positive pressure system, vacuum system
(negative pressure system) or a combination of both.

By being enclosed, pneumatic conveyors can operate without conveyed material encountering
moving parts. Pneumatic vacuum systems administer a vacuum at the receiving end in order to pull
the material through the enclosed piping, whereas pressure systems inject compressed air at the
introduction or system inlet in order to push materials through.

Rotary Air Lock Valves:

Rotary air lock valves also known as Rotary feeders, are commonly used in bulk or speciality material
handling system. Rotary air lock valves are primarily used for discharge of bulk solid material
from hoppers/bins, receivers, and cyclones into a pressure or vacuum-driven pneumatic conveying
system. Components of a rotary feeder include a rotor shaft, housing, head plates, and packing
seals and bearings.

Rotary valves are available with square or round inlet and outlet flanges. Housing can be fabricated
out of sheet material or cast. Common materials are cast iron, carbon steel, 304 SS, 316 SS, and
other materials. Rotary airlock feeders are often available in standard and heavy duty models, the
difference being the head plate and bearing configuration. Heavy duty models use an outboard
bearing in which the bearings are moved out away from the head plate. Housing inlet and discharge
configurations are termed drop-thru or side entry. Different wear protections are available such as
hard chrome or ceramic plating on the inner housing surfaces. Grease and air purge fittings are often
provided to prevent contaminants from entering the packing seals.

Air Pollution Control Equipment’s:

 Dust Collection System

 Pulse Jet Bag filters

Dust Collection System:

A dust collection system is an air quality improvement system used in industries to improve

breathable air quality and safety by removing particulate matter from the air and environment. Dust
collection systems work on the basic formula of capture, convey and collect.
First, the dust must be captured or extracted. This is accomplished with devices such as capture
hoods to catch dust at its source of origin. Many times, the machine producing the dust will have a
port to which a duct can be directly attached.
Second, the dust must be conveyed. This is done via a ducting system, properly sized and Mani
folded to maintain a consistent minimum air velocity required to keep the dust in suspension for
conveyance to the collection device. A duct of the wrong size can lead to material settling in the duct
system and clogging it.
Finally, the dust is collected. This is done via a variety of means, depending on the application and
the dust being handled. It can be as simple as a basic pass-through Bag filter, a cyclonic separator.

Pulse Jet Bag filters:

Pulse-jet filter bags can be manufactured from most available felt or woven filter Medias. A pulse-jet
bag house is the most versatile type of bag house, because it can use filter bags with a variety of
media and finishes. Pulse-jet filter bags are useful for the industries like Cement, Lime, Waste
incineration and utility power, Carbon black, Catalyst and chemicals, Industrial boilers, Foundries and
nonferrous smelters etc.

When you make a commitment to a filter bag manufacturer, you expect a certain level of care and
customer service. That’s why we review every individual customer order to make sure the bag will fit
your bag house cage perfectly. We always take into account the specific features and requirements
of the filter media. And your unique equipment specifications. When your filter bags fit properly, you
will be better able to:

 Control air pollution and emissions,

 Reduce the frequency of repairs or service calls and stop losing money due to inefficiency
