How to choose the power of the transformer oil filter?

Choosing the right power rating for a transformer oil filter machine depends on several factors, including the oil volume, processing speed, and transformer capacity. Below are the key considerations:

1. Capacity & Flow Rate

  • The power of the machine is directly related to its flow rate (measured in liters per hour or LPH).
  • Small transformers (≤ 1MVA): 600–1200 LPH
  • Medium transformers (1–10 MVA): 1800–3000 LPH
  • Large transformers (10–100 MVA): 4000–10,000 LPH
  • Extra-large transformers (>100 MVA): 10,000+ LPH

2. Heating Power (kW)

  • Transformer oil needs to be heated for effective purification.
  • Small systems: 5–15 kW
  • Medium systems: 15–40 kW
  • Large systems: 40–100 kW

3. Vacuum Pump Power

  • A high vacuum system is crucial for degassing and dehumidification.
  • Vacuum pump capacity depends on the flow rate and system size.
  • Smaller units: ~2–5 kW
  • Larger units: 5–15 kW

4. Working Environment

  • Consider power supply compatibility:
    • Single-phase (220V) for small systems
    • Three-phase (380V/415V/440V) for industrial use

5. Additional Features

  • Two-stage vacuum for ultra-purification.
  • Regeneration system for acidity and sludge removal.
  • Online operation for continuous filtration without shutting down the transformer.
