Silica Gel Orange for Breather Transformer Process
Breathing is the process in which the transformer breather out or breather-in the air from its body due to the expansion of oil mass and thermal contraction. When the transformer is either loaded or unloaded, oil temperature present inside the transformer body increases or decreases as per the changes in air pressure inside tank by either breathing our or breathing in the air. This phenomenon is known as breathing of transformer. Now, the air that is being breathed in includes either the humidity or dust particles that modify the dielectric strength of the oil. To accomplish appropriate functioning of transformed, it is extremely required that the dielectric strength of the oil of transformed remains unimpaired. Thus, it is necessary that the air getting into the transformed is free of dust particles and moisture. The sole purpose of silica gel orange breather is to dehydrate the air and to eliminate the dust particles of air that is breathed in by transformer.
Available Size of Breathers:
125 grams, 250 grams, 500 grams, 1 kg., 2 kg, 5 kg.
Applications & Advantages of Silica Gel Orange:
Silica gel orange is used in the moisture absorption process at different industrial levels. It has no side effects in the environment and considered very safe for health due to its organic nature and the state of being non-toxic. When it turns free of moisture, the color of orange beads turns to dark green. Silica gel orange beads are capable of absorbing 40% of the moisture of its total weight in the water vapor. The orange beads are available in sizes ranging 3-5mm, 2-5mm, 5-8mm and the beads of these sizes are widely employed in breather transformer application in the transformer manufacturing industry. Normally, breathers in power industries are utilized for controlling moisture. Especially, environmentally free orange silica gel is employed where products have to be protected from moisture and humidity.
Why only preferred silica gel orange in breather?
Silica gel breathers are hollow cylinder tubes, which are transparent and contain pure chemical silicium salt with cobalt indiBcator. This particular grade of silica gel is known as indicating grade of the silica gel. Silica gel orange is highly preferred for breather transformer process as it creates no harm to the environment or causes pollution and regarded extremely safe. The indicating grade of the silica gel that is filled in the breather is orange crystals that has considerable absorption moisture power. Silica gel will absorb the moisture indicating the degree of saturation by means of color change.
