I. INTRODUCTION

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED is a joint venture between


the companies John Fowler (India) Limited, Westrup a/s, Denmark and
Industrialization fund for Developing Countries, Denmark for manufacture and
supply of Transformer Oil Conditioning machines and Seed Processing
machines.

NIRMAL FILTER (NF) Division manufactures Oil conditioning machines for


Transformer oil, Capacitor oil, silicone fluids, and Test beds for Converters and
Valve sets for Locomotive applications. NIRMAL filters for decades have
served the Indian industry as well as industries in various countries across the
globe. Periodic maintenance of transformers by NIRMAL machines ensures
quality power to all the households and industries alike. NIRMAL, true to its
name has been synonymous with providing total customer solution.

FOWLER WESTRUP manufactures 5 models of transformer oil conditioning


machines for various ratings of transformers. They are

Standard JTM model


Medium high vacuum JMHV model

The usage of transformer oils:

Oil in power transformers and distribution transformers serve the purpose of


insulation and cooling of windings. After sometime water, gas, impurities, etc.
contaminate the oil and its break down voltage comes down. It is advisable to
condition this oil for efficient performance. This saves cost of using new oil
frequently and also increases the life of the transformer.

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PVT LTD., 6


II. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

NIRMAL Transformer oil conditioning machine is suitable for conditioning


Transformer oil and drying transformer insulation.

The oil conditioning machine is mounted on a compact under carriage with


suspension springs and pneumatic tyres. Screw jacks are provided to release
load on tyres during operation and to level the machine horizontal on the
ground. The complete machine is provided with sheet metal casing with
necessary doors providing access to all controls and is suitable for out door
operations

The machine is designed for the following operation of oil

1. Degassing, de-watering and filtering of transformer oil.


2. Evacuation of transformer
3. On-site drying of transformer.

1. Conditioning of oil:

The oil, besides acting as a dielectric barrier, also carries the heat way. On the
other hand, it absorbs water and gases from the atmosphere and solid
insulation ageing products during service, resulting in a considerable decrease
in its break down voltage, insulation resistance and increase in dielectric loss
factor. Even commercial oil is seldom sufficiently pure for direct use in high
voltage equipment, being subject to contamination in transport containers and
liable to absorb unacceptable quantities of moisture and air because of contact
with atmosphere.

Conditioning of the oil eliminates,

-Solid impurities
-Free and dissolved water
-Free and dissolved gases

By degassing, de-watering and filtration breakdown voltage of the insulating oil


can be substantially increased.

a. Filtration

1. Ferrous and non-ferrous particles of above one mm in size are arrested


by magnetic filter (2) provided before inlet gear pump.

2. Filtration of solid impurities is carried out by non-hygroscopic filter


cartridges of high dust holding capacity.

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PVT LTD., 7


b. Degassing and Dehydration

Evacuation of the degassing chamber causes the water content in the


oil to evaporate. The water vapour and gases released by the oil are
extracted out from the degassing chamber by the vacuum pumps. At
entry into the degassing chamber, the oil is distributed and directed
through Raschig ring columns. The packed Raschig ring columns
ensure distribution of oil into a thin film thereby maximizing exposure of
each particle of oil to vacuum.

2. Evacuation of transformer

Provision is made to evacuate the transformer by using the vacuum pumping


system provided in the filter machine, when not being used for filtration system.

3. On site drying of transformer

The oil and other transformer insulation components are liable to absorb
moisture after several years of operation. Substantial ingress of moisture into
transformer is bound to take place, especially during repairs. Transformer
therefore requires drying from time to time.

On account of high cost of transporting a transformer back to factory, the


insulation is normally dried at site. Necessary provision for hot oil circulation
through the transformer and vacuum pumping system for evacuating the
transformer is provided in oil conditioning machine.

4. Erection

A) The machine is made and dispatched in two parts, i.e.

a) Oil conditioning machine.


b) Axels – 2 Nos.

B) These have to be assembled together as per match markings made on


the frame legs of machine and the axels.

C) At a time of assembly of machine over to trailer ensure to bolt outlet pipe


flange of centrifugal pump (23) along with the pump box frame (with
metallic covers).

D) The tow bar is dismantled at a time of dispatch and this has to be


assembled as per sketch enclosed.

Open drain valve (17) and aeration valve (15) of filter. The differential
pressure across degassing tank and filter vessel will cause the oil to
drain into degassing chamber. Close valve (17) if pressure starts
to rise in degassing tank. When the oil in the degassing tank rises above
sight glass level during draining, empty the tank by intermittent operation
of outlet pump (23).

b) Draining the oil heater (6)

Open drain valve (18) and aeration valve (15) of filter. The resulting
differential pressure across degassing tank and oil heater will cause the
oil to drain into degassing tank. Close valve (18) immediately if pressure
starts to rise in degassing tank. When the oil in the degassing tank rises
above sight glass level during draining, empty the degassing tank by
intermittent operation of outlet pump (23).

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PVT LTD., 28


H. SPECIAL NOTE:

Please ensure that the following points are followed during preparation, starting
and running of the machine and which have already been elaborated in the
operation manual.

1. Check the power supply for maximum power supply voltage and
frequency for which the machine is designed.

2. Check for proper direction of rotation of pumps.

3. Centrifugal pump should never run dry.

4. During running of the machine, especially during starting, it should be


carefully and continuously monitored that the oil/foam level never
increases beyond the middle level of the degassing chamber at any
time. This level is clearly marked on the sight glass. During starting of
the machine, when the initial gas content is high, the oil/foam in the
degassing chamber may be more. This oil/foam level can be controlled
by partly throttling inlet valve (1), opening bypass valve (5) across gear
pump, throttling valve (16) and if required by opening partly aeration
valve (20). This precaution is absolutely essential for smooth operation
of the machine till stabilized operative condition is attained.

5. Before stopping of the machine, the heaters provided in heater vessel


should be switched off first and the oil has to be circulated for at least 15
minutes to take away the heat from the heater tubes.

6. Before starting the machine, check the vacuum oil level in the vacuum
pump through the sight glass. The oil level should always be in line with
the indicated level marked on the sight glass. If not, add up further
quantity of oil to the indicated level.

If vacuum oil is contaminated, with excess moisture and contaminants,


like transformer oil, do not add fresh oil. First drain out all the
contaminated oil and then fill the new vacuum pump oil. The
recommended grade of oil for vacuum pump is mentioned in preparation
of machine.

This is very important for smooth running of the machine.

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PVT LTD., 29


I. MAINTENANCE OF OIL CONDITIONING MACHINE:

The Nirmal HIVAC machine has been designed for minimum maintenance, but
like all machinery, some regular attention is required to ensure trouble-free
operation. Maintenance can be carried out using normal workshop tools.

Before carrying out any maintenance work, make sure that the filter machine is
disconnected electrically & vacuum pressure is completely released.

a) MAGNETIC STRAINER (2) .

The magnetic strainer should be checked and cleaned when there is no suction
of oil from the transformer to the machine, when the inlet pump is switched on.
The strainer element can be removed without dismantling the magnetic strainer
vessel from pipeline. (Refer Sketch)

 Close transformer valves and valve (1).


 Loosen the bolt and open the top flange of the magnetic strainer. Lift the
element assembly.
 Loosen the nut; separate the perforated core mesh and magnet.
 Clean the magnets and core mesh by compressed air and with transformer oil.
Reassemble the core and magnet. Tighten the nut.
 Refit the assembly. Close the top flange, ensuring proper sitting of spring and
„O‟ rings.

b) HEATER ELEMENTS

Heater elements can be dismantled for replacement: (Refer Sketch)

 Switch off the heaters.


 Remove the cover of the heater vessel.
 Disconnect the electrical wiring and copper strips by loosening the nuts on the
heater elements.
 Take the heater element carefully and ensure there is no damage on the
ceramic grooved pieces of heater element.
 Replace with new heater elements and ensure the heater element sits in a slot
to the maximum depth of the heater tube.
 Reconnect with electrical wiring as it was earlier.
 Close the cover of the vessel and tighten the bolts.

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PVT LTD., 30


c) FILTER ELEMENTS

When the compound gauge (14) shows 3 kg/cm 2 at the rated flow of the
machine, it is necessary to replace the Filter cartridges. (Refer sketch)

Procedure for replacement of cartridges:

 Drain out the oil from the filter vessel through a common drain point by opening
valve no.15 & 17, when the degassing chamber is under vacuum. (Ref. Filter
Vessel draining procedure)
 Switch off the machine.
 Close the inlet and outlet valves of the machine.
 Remove the top flange.
 Loosen the wing nuts.
 Remove the neoprene washer and the plate.
 Take out the filter cartridges.
 Replace with new cartridges and ensure the bottom neoprene washer is placed
in its position properly.
 Ensure „O‟ ring on the filter vessel is not damaged and is seated properly in its
groove on the filter vessel.
 Close the top flange and tighten the bolts and nuts uniformly along with spring
washers

d) INLET GEAR PUMP

The pump requires very little maintenance. During the maintenance of the pumps
the following procedure has to be followed:
 Drain the oil from the heater vessel to the degassing chamber through drain
valve no 18. (Ref. Heater vessel draining procedure)
 Close valve no. (1), (18) & (22).
 Remove the electrical connections of the motor.
 Remove the bolts and nuts of the motor mounted on the frame.
 Pull the motor out by hand and remove the star bush between the pump and

ASSEMBLY OF THE PUMP

 Fix the oil seals and bush.


 Insert the shaft from the backside of the pump.
 Turn the shaft smoothly and see to that the shaft rotates freely by hand.
 Close the back cover.
 Refit the circlip.
 Fix the coupling on the shaft and tighten the allen screws.
 Couple with the motor couplings and ensure free rotation of the shaft and
reconnect electrical wires.
 Alignment between the pump and the motor can be checked using a stand
mounted dial gauge and rotating the shaft.
 Refit the motor to its original position and tighten the bolts.

e) ROTARY VACUUM PUMP (29)

 The vacuum pumps are generally free from maintenance. The following
precautions have to be taken to ensure pumps run smoothly.
 Drain out the contaminated vacuum pump oil and water from pump slowly.
 Tighten the bolt after draining.
 Remove the oil cap and fill oil to the middle level of the sight glass.
 Open the gas ballast valve and run the vacuum pump for sometime to remove the
moisture present inside the pump. (For detailed servicing and over hauling of
pump please refer maintenance manual of pumps).

f) ROOTS PUMP (28)

 To drain the contaminated oil, remove the drain plug.


 The drain plug can be fixed back after the oil is fully drained.
 Remove the oil plug at the top and fill the oil to the middle level of the sight glass.
 Close the oil plug.

g) GAUGES

 While replacing the gauges ensure the threads of the gauges are wrapped with
Teflon tape.
 Tighten gauges to the plug point so that there are no leakages.

h) ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

 Electrical faults may be traced with reference to the schematic Electrical Diagram.
If a fault persists check for the cause and rectify the fault before resetting the
circuit breaker.

FOWLER WESTRUPTM (INDIA) PVT LTD., 32


J. OPERATOR SAFETY:

 Read all instructions carefully and be thoroughly familiar with the oil-
conditioning machine.

 To protect against electrical hazards do not open the control panel, when the
machine is in operation.

 Do not touch the pumps while running.

 Do not touch the heater vessel when the machine is in operation.

 Before doing maintenance, switch „OFF” the main switch.

 De-aerate the degassing chamber after completion of oil processing.

2.1 Operating Principle

The machine works on the Roots blower principle.


The two oil housings (on each side) allow the lubrication of the gears, bearings and in
certain versions the oil lubricated mechanical seals.

2.2 Application
The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic
and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the
machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.
The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
The vacuum booster is used in combination with a backing pump in vacuum system.
The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure.
Permitted environmental conditions see Technical Data [} 20].

NOTICE
Chemical compatibility of the process gases with the machine component materials.
Risk of corrosion inside the compression chamber which can reduce performance and
its lifetime!
• Check if the process gases are compatible with those following materials:
- Cast iron
- Steel
- Aluminium
- Fluoroelastomer (FKM/FPM)
• In doubt, please contact your Busch representative.

FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

1. Switch off the mains power supply immediately. If this is not possible, protect yourself
with dry insulating material and put the victim away from the conductor. Do not touch
the victim with your bare hands until he is cleared off the conductor.

2. Place the victim in the supine position. Keep the air passage clear by turning the head
on one side. Open the patient’s mouth and clear it of water saline, mucus or blood,
which might have accumulated.

3. If the jaw is rigid, try to open the mouth by pressure on the gum behind the last molar
teeth of the lower jaw. When the upper air passages are cleared, tilt the head
backward and force the jaw forward from the angle of the jaw in front of the ears. This
would prevent mechanical obstructions to the upper air passages.

4. Then hold the chin up and forward with one hand and pinch the nostrils of the victim
with the other. Take a very deep breath and put your mouth to that of the victim and
blow into his mouth, until the chest of the victim moves up indicating filling of the lungs.

5. When the chest has moved up, withdraw your mouth and allow the chest to sink back.
Repeat this process every three to four seconds until the victim begins to breathe
again or until he is taken over by a medical attendant. This process should continue in
the ambulance also, during the transit of the patient from the site of accident to the
nearest medical center. Keep patient warm and loosen his clothing.

6. Do not give liquids until the patient is conscious.


Users Hand Book & Technical Manual DHPG-222

a. To begin with, study the manual in details.

b. Ensure availability of proper power supplies required for operation.

c. Ensure availability of other test and measuring equipments required for testing
alongwith this equipment.

d. Use proper tools and avoid unnecessary tampering of the gauge.

e. Ensure that all seals are intact.

f. Ensure that the unit housings are free from mechanical damages.

g. Before using the gauge, examine the connecting loom and the connectors. The
connectors should be free of deformation.

h. Ensure pins of plug and adapter aren’t bent.

i. Ensure power supply and allied test and measuring equipments are properly
connected.

j. Strictly follow the sequence of operations mentioned in test schedule. If any one
of the operations is skipped unknowingly, please start checking from initial
condition. This is very important as missing the sequence may lead to incorrect
results and the tester in that case would be prone to malfunctioning.

k. Always work with one other person who is equally qualified during operation of
the equipment.

2. Don’t’s:

Change of pressure in vacuum system brings about a rise or fall in number of gas
molecules present and hence a rise or fall in the thermal conductivity of the gas. Thus
the heat loss of constant input voltage heated filament in the system varies with the
pressure. The Pirani gauge head filament has high temperature co-efficient of
resistance. So a slight change in system pressure brings about useful change in
filament resistance resulting in an out of balance of wheat stone bridge where filament
forms one of the arms. In this mode the bridges balanced at pressure less than 10-3
m.bar. Any increased pressure unbalances the bridge and results in a pressure
dependent deflection in the meter, which is calibrated in terms of m.bar. The Pirani
gauge head indicates the total pressure of combined gases and condensable vapours
in the system as the heated wire can lose heat to both gas and vapour molecules.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

When the gauge is switched on the power supplied + 26 volts unregulated (varies
+21 to 34 volts) + 18 volts, - 12 volts and + 5 volts regulated power supplied are
available.

When gauge head is connected into the rear socket and the power supplies are
available. The wheat stone bridge configuration completes through 550 ohm, 130
ohm and sensor filament 72 ohm, and to start up the auto balancing, a small amount
of voltage derived from +18 volts through 39K ohm is fed to the bridge circuit. This
generates differential voltage across the input terminals of IC Lm747, which
produces an output voltage at the base of transistor 2N 1711 through 100 ohm,
which in turn controls the bridge voltage to balance the bridge automatically. As the
gauge head is evacuated to a higher degree of vacuum. Due to thermal conductivity
change with gas pressure, the filament temperature will try to rise and since it is a
closed loop control the bridge voltage drops down to bring back the filament
temperature. In this process the bridge voltage is highest when sensor is at
atmospheric pressure and lowest, when the sensor is at 10e-3 m.bar or better.

The IC 747 stage 1 provides ATM (999) m.bar and zero (0.001) Adjustments for
calibrations of the sensor head.

The IC 747 stage 2 provides, signal conditioning of the non-linear signal into a
logarithmic signal by means of diode resister network.

This stage generates an output of 0-10 volts corresponding to 999 m.bar to 0.001
m.bar. which is used to drive the digital display. The signal also can be used for
recorder or for external process control. The analog signal 0-10 volt after necessary
voltage divider is fed to a micro controller.

GAUGE HEAD CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

8.1.1 When the fine sensor wire is contaminated with oil or other deposits that is
emissivity or its diameter is appreciably altered, and a change of calibration will
result. Cleaning with the tri chloroethylene, Toluene or Acetone is possible.
Keep the gauge head upright position and clamp it in suitable place. Pour
slowly through the opening and fill completely with clean solvent. Keep it
overnight and remove it next day morning completely by holding down ward,
pour fresh solvent and shake it slowly and drain it again. Dry it thoroughly and
prepare for re-calibrations.
