    Vapour Phase Drying (VPD) System Make:-HEDRICH Germany For Drying of Oil Filled Transformer at Voltamp Works Makarpura, Vadodara

    Uploaded by

    Mukund Gawale
    This document compares vacuum oven drying and vapour phase drying (VPD) methods for drying oil-filled transformer cores and coils. VPD uses a low-viscosity solvent vapor as the heat carrier, which penetrates deeper than air to provide more uniform and rapid heating with less stress on insulation. VPD allows for higher drying temperatures and extracts moisture more effectively, thoroughly cleaning transformer components. The document concludes that VPD is the best drying method due to its faster, more uniform drying with deeper moisture extraction and cleaning of transformer parts.

    General difference in Drying Process of Transformer Core-Coil assembly (CCA)


    By Vacuum Oven & VPD

    Vacuum Oven Drying Vapour Phase Drying

    Heat Carrier is Air Heat Carrier is a Vapour of low viscosity


    solvent with sufficiently high flash point

    Vacuum Oven includes VPD System includes

    Vacuum chamber with drying system Evaporator & condenser system

    Vacuum chamber with drying system

    Process Process

    Core-Coil assembly (CCA) is placed in Under Heating vacuum condition low


    oven and heated for some time. Heated viscosity solvent becomes vapour at
    air is circulated rapidly and moisture high temperature. When Vapour meets
    laden air is bleed off at frequent core-coil assembly (CCA) in less
    interval. Vacuum is then applied and temperature vapour gets condensed
    heating of CCA continued and releases latent heat of
    simultaneously. The mixture of air and condensation. Condensed solvent gets
    moisture is extracted and thus drying of collected and retransmitted to
    CCA is achieved. evaporator for heating again. In this
    way under several cycles, temp. of CCA
    increases continuously and moisture
    inside the CCA evaporate to water
    vapor and taken out by vacuum and
    thus complete drying of CCA is achieved

    Comparison of Vacuum Oven Drying Vs. VPD

    Vacuum Oven Drying VPD

    Many of the parts of CCA are Heating and drying takes place
    inaccessible to air for heating. This simultaneously. In addition solvent
    results in less extraction of moisture vapour reaches the coolest Part of the
    compare to VPD CCA. This results in batter extraction of
    moisture

    Heat is first delivered to the outer most In VPD heat is delivered to the Outer &
    element of windings and then these inner components directly. Direct
    Outer winding in turn heat inner delivery of heat to all components of an
    windings. This results in slow and assembled CCA results in more Uniform
    unequal heating and rapid heating

    There is a Possibility of Local Local Overheating of Insulation is


    Overheating of Insulation avoided

    In this process Insulation is more In this process insulation is less stressed


    stressed compare to VPD process compare to Vacuum drying.

    ( approx 15% less stressed)

    Less effective moisture extraction Very Effective moisture extraction due


    compare to VPD process due to to the deeper penetration of Hot
    unequal heating Vapours results in good P.I. & I.R. values
    & tan –Delta Test results.

    Drying temperatures are restricted Higher Drying temperatures are


    possible with minimum time period.

    More drying time compare to VPD Less drying time

    Ideal for Old Transformer


    Vapour phase drying (VPD) is ideal for drying of old
    transformer as the heat carrier washes the
    deteriorated insulating oil out of the insulating
    materials e.g. from precrompressed, laminated
    pressboards clampling rings, creep paper & kraft
    paper insulation, over all HV & LV winding &
    Tapping leads etc.
    Windings are completely cleaned of all sediment
    such as dust,dirt,sludges,fibres & other impurities
    from the inner most spaces in a transformer.
    CONCLUSION
    VPD process is the best available method of drying
    Considering effective moisture extraction
    Due to rapid & uniform heating of all components
    of CCA with less stress on
    Insulation in less time.
