ARRAS MAXEI OIL TREATMENT

TYPE MAS 4000 TEC
MAXEI Industries Electriques oil treatment plants are particularly recommended to maintain, dry and fill your transformers and circuit- breakers. By removing solid impurities, dissolved moisture and gases from insulating and cooling oils, they indeed enable to restore the oil dielectric properties, and thus to extend the useful life of your electrical equipment. Used and reknowned all over the world for their performance, reliability and ease of operation, our standard plants have been enriched with the latest technological achievements in order to develop a complete range of plants meant to treat live / operating transformers. As their operation principle has been approved further to tests performed in our Quality and Control platform, ARRAS MAXEI treatment plants meant to treat live / operating transformers ensure a reliable and safe treatment of the transformer. Available with various automation levels, the MAS 4000 TEC and MAS 2000 TEC plants can operate not only on live / operating transformers, but also on nonenergized transformers either for their filling-up or for their traditional mainte-

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OIL TREATMENT PLANT MEANT TO TREAT LIVE / OPERATING TRANSFORMERS

PREAMBLE SUMMARY: 2 2 2 3 4 5 The efficient and reliable use of dielectric fluids in transformers, circuit breakers and other types of electrical equipments depends upon some of their basic characteristics, which in service may be affected, resulting in reduced operating efficiency of the electrical equipments. In order to act as an insulant, a coolant and an extinguishing medium, dielectric fluids must have some basic properties, and especially a high dielectric strength. Now, in service, the dielectric fluids basic properties may be affected by oxidation, condensation and other contaminants such as dissolved gases and solid impurities. Working on the principles of filtration, dehydration, and vacuum degasification,

Treatment of live / operating transformers with MAS 4000 TEC

ARRAS MAXEI MAS 4000 TEC plant has been especially designed to carry out the operations of filtration, dehydration and absorption of dissolved gases on a transformer that is under current or operating. Then, the transformer is totally available during the treatment operations that are necessary for its efficient and safe operation. Furthermore, the transformer does not need to be stopped at all during connection with the plant if the security distance between the transformers connections and the terminals can be respected. ARRAS MAXEI MAS 4000 TEC plant has been designed to treat dielectric oil with a 50 ppm moisture content and a dissolved gas content of approx. 10% by volume before being treated. Once the optimal treatment conditions have been reached, the clean treated oil goes out after 1 pass at a maximum temperature of 70C with a moisture content below 5 ppm* and a dissolved gas content of approximately 0.1% by volume*. This restores the oil dielectric strength to a value in excess of 75 kV after treatment. An oil at 20 ppm will go out at 3 ppm* after 1 pass. These characteristics are given for a distillation curve of 1.10-2 mbar at 80C. For a treatment of the active parts of transformer, these data can vary in function of the state of the transformer.

ARRAS MAXEI OIL TREATMENT

MAS 4000 TEC

Principle of operation
Options Low speed trailer Road trailer The pre-filtered dielectric fluid enters the plant through an inlet strainer, and then passes through an inlet oil pump and into an oil heater, where it is heated by immersion heaters. After a first filtration 7 m absolute through cartridge filter, the dielectric fluid is sprayed into a vacuum chamber on a basket of degassing rings. Finally, after elimination of the air bubbles and filtration 1m absolute, the clean treated fluid flows through the outlet oil pump.
