BRIEFLY ABOUT THE MACHINE
The Machine S500 is designed for filtering, drying and degassing of transformer oil. The model and the example that
were kept in mind during development and construction of this Machine were the machines, which proved to be most
efficient in operation, built by leading European manufacturers. All essential parts of the Machine (vacuum pump, gear
pump, electromagnetic valve and floater) are produced by leading German manufacturers. Some of the
components (such as fine and coarse filters, temperature control, construction of the heaters, gear pump) had to
be modified to improve the operation of the Machine and to eliminate shortcomings noticed in the operation of some
other machines of this kind.

BRIEFLY ABOUT THE PROCESS
The electrical properties of insulating oil (such as puncture voltage and coefficient of losses) can be considerably
improved by its filtering, degassing and dehydration. Only properly and sufficiently filtered and dried oil is suitable
for filling up of the transformer. Even brand-new oil is rarely clean enough to be used in high-voltage installations,
as it is often already polluted in the transporting barrels and it may absorb too much moisture in contact with air.
During its operation, transformer-insulating oil is absorbing moisture over its free surface in the expansion vessel
and it becomes polluted by absorbing dirty particles, fibers, soot and aging products. Therefore, oil conditioning
has to eliminate the following:
- solid particles
- free and dissolved water
- dissolved gasses
The puncture voltage can be considerably increased and the coefficient of loses tangδ improved by filtering,
degassing and dehydration of insulating oil to the extent depending on moisture content.

THE MACHINE CONSISTS OF:
1. Inlet valve a spherical valve 3/4“ with special “Teflon” gaskets at the oil inlet at the Machine.
2. Coarse filter as oil is often very polluted, the Machine is fitted with a large sized, easy to open and clean, coarse
filter. Oil is conveyed at a reduced flow rate through a mesh and a strong permanent magnet which retains steel
particles and protects the gear pump from damages.
2a. Service valve a spherical valve 3/4“ with special “Teflon” gaskets for maintenance and cleaning of coarse
filter.
3. Oil heater 7.5 kW power of the heater is divided into two stages, both of 3.75 kW. Oil is heated indirectly by
means of electric heating elements insulated from oil by pipes and air. The heating process is thereby gradually
accomplished and, with the sufficiently large heating surface, any damage of oil is excluded. Temperature load of
the heaters is <1 W/cm2. Together with the thermal control (details of which are given in the following text) this
allows heating of oil in individual stages, e.g. at higher temperatures quite “tenderly”. Special electrical
connection prevents the heater to be turned on if the gear pump is not operating. This is to protect the non
circulating oil from overheating. To access each of the heating elements, the protective cap from the heater
should be removed, by unscrewing the bolts (Machine must be disconnected from the power supply!).
4. Safety valve with teflon gasket is installed at the oil heater and it prevents increase of pressure in case of
oil is overheated, or the outlet valve is negligently closed. It is calibrated to open when the pressure raises over 5
bar.
5. Safety & control thermostat the Machine is equipped with a double acting – precise thermostat, acting as a safety
thermostat with incorporated control thermostat. This control thermostat is fitted with an external button for the
temperature range from 300C up to 900C. This control thermostat is used to regulate the oil heating step no. 2. By
means of other control thermostat, both heating stages can be controlled. The safety thermostat is designed to
allow max. temperature of 900C, with a construction that allows it both safety and control role.
6. Control thermostat fitted with an external button for the temperature range from 300C up to 900C; the button
maximum position is 900C, thus these control thermostat act as another safety device to prevent oil overheating.
This control thermostat is used to regulate the oil heating step no. 1. Control thermostats should be adjusted to
cca.60-65 0C which represents an optimal temperature for oil processing.
7. Thermometer Is positioned on the control panel for easier viewing. It measures the oil temperature at the outlet
of the oil heater.
8. Electromagnetic valve a special magnetic valve capable of operating in vacuum, resistant to transformer oil
and high temperatures. Together with the floater, it automatically controls the oil level in degassing tank.
9. Degassing tank of a welded construction, with specially shaped separating sheets for equal distribution of oil.
Oil is conveyed over the “RASIG” rings, where oil surface is significantly increased and gas fractions can be
efficiently separated. In addition, the resting time of oil is increased to the maximum. The degassing tank is
equipped with a sight-glass for the visual control of the process, as well as with a special lamp for illumination of
the tank interior. The power supply of the lamp is 12 V for safety reasons.
10. Floater this floater protects the degassing tank from overfilling and, together with electromagnetic valve,
prevents the insulating oil to penetrate into the vacuum pump.
11. Gear pump with 500 l/h capacity. This pump is specially designed to operate under vacuum conditions and it
is used for evacuation of oil from the degassing tank.
12. Overflow valve is installed on the gear pump and it protects the Machine from an excessive rise of pressure in
case
outlet valve is negligently closed or because of some other reason.
13. Mano-vacuum meter for reading of fine filter dirtiness, through oil pressure rise. Filter should be cleaned when
the pressure raises up to 2.5 bar.
14. Sampling valve a spherical, closing valve for insulating oil sampling.
15. Fine filter container the fine filter container is of a size that allows it to accept a standard filter separating
particles of 3 microns.
16. Outlet valve a spherical valve 3/4“ with special “Teflon” gaskets at the oil outlet of the Machine.
17. Aeration valve a spherical valve for aeration of the degassing tank in case of an excessive foaming of oil.
18. Sight-glass for process control equipped with search-light fitted on its left side to illuminate the interior of the
degassing tank.
19. Vacuum meter used for measuring of vacuum in the degassing tank during the process.
20. Discharge valve a spherical valve for discharging of condensate from the separator.
21. Separator of a special construction for separation of liquid fractions from gasses which are extracted out of
degassing tank. It is equipped with sight-glass for control of separated water.
22. Vacuum pump of 16 m3/h capacity, provides vacuum for operation of the Machine, equipped with a so-called
“gas-ballast” valve. Maximal vacuum that could be achieved with this pump is 0.5 mbar. With the Machine there is a 2
m hose delivered for evacuation of gasses form vacuum pump if working in the indoor conditions.
23. Air valve a spherical valve installed on the filter container for elimination of trapped air from the filter.
24. Drainage valve a spherical valve for drainage of transformer oil from oil heater.
25. Control panel has and IP 55 protection rating and it consists of fuses, contactors, electric motors electrical
protection, protection relays, transformer, main switch, internal wiring etc., for an automatic operation of the Machine.
Control panel is equipped with total-stop taster for immediate shut down of the complete Machine in urgent situations.
In addition on the front of control panel, there are three green indicator lights (L1, L2 and L3) for phase presence.
Beside this, above every cam switch, there is also an green light, that serves as an indicator of the current state
(on / off) of the respective components.
