What is the function of silica gel breather?

Most of the power generation companies use silica gel breathers fitted to the conservator of oil filled transformers. The purpose of these silica gel breathers is to absorb the moisture in the air sucked in by the transformer during the breathing process.

What is the final color of silica gel in breather?

Working Principle of Silica Gel Breather The oil in the oil sealing cup acts as barrier between silica gel crystal and air when there is no flow of air through silica gel breather. The color of silica gel crystal is dark blue but, when it absorbs moisture; it becomes pink.

What is the function of dehydrating breather?

Dehydrating breathers are used to prevent air moisture from contaminating the oil in electrical equipment. They are usually installed on the oil compartment of a on-load tap-changer or on the air side of a power transformer conservator.

How can we reactive silica gel used in breather?

Silica gel is used in breather transformers for controlling the level of moisture and prevents it from entering the equipment. They are mainly useful in protecting the transformer oil from the damaging effects of moisture. Silica gel blue crystals and orange beads work effectively in this application.

What is the function of breather?

Transformer Breather Helps to Prevent Atmospheric Moisture and Reduce Maintenance Costs. During the breathing cycle of a transformer, it is crucial to prevent atmospheric moisture from entering the transformer, which can contaminate the oil.

How do I reactivate my silica gel breather?

Maintenance of Silica gel Breather Silicagel may be reactivated by heating in a thin pan at a temperature of 1500C to 2000C for two to three hours when the crystals should have regained their original blue tint.

How can we reactivate silica gel used in breather?

How is regeneration of silica gel in breathers done?

As the transformer breathes, the silica gel serves to remove moisture from the air, thus delivering dry air to the transformer. These breathers are self-monitoring and automatically “regenerate” the silica gel through a heating process that removes moisture from the gel during the regeneration period.

What is electrical breather?

Introduction. Dehydrating breathers, sometimes referred to as silica gel breathers, prevent moisture from ambient air coming into contact with an electrical transformer’s insulating liquid. The breather contains hydrophilic (attracted to water) crystal or bead shaped silica gel.

Why is breather used?

When does silica gel breather of transformer come out?

Silica Gel Breather of Transformer. Whenever electrical power transformer is loaded, the temperature of the transformer insulating oil increases, consequently the volume of the oil is increased. As the volume of the oil is increased, the air above the oil level in conservator will come out.

What is the purpose of a silica gel breather?

Dehydrating breathers, sometimes referred to as silica gel breathers, prevent moisture from ambient air coming into contact with an electrical transformer’s insulating liquid. The breather contains hydrophilic (attracted to water) crystal or bead shaped silica gel.

How is silica gel used in air conservators?

Silica gel crystal has tremendous capacity of absorbing moisture. When air passes through these crystals in the breather; the moisture of the air is absorbed by them. Therefore, the air reaches to the conservator is quite dry, the dust particles in the air get trapped by the oil in the oil seal cup.

How does the mtrab 2.5 maintenance free breather work?

The maintenance-free MTRAB® 2.5 is the perfect solution for this challenge. It prevents the ingress of moisture into the insulating fluid of transformers, tap changers, and other electrical equipment filled with insulating fluids and permanently monitors them. The MTRAB® 2.5 reduces operating costs immediately upon installation.
