Transformer Oil Dehydration System


H.C. Warner, Inc. is a long time representative of Velcon Filters of Colorado Springs. Velcon specializes in oil/fuel filtration and has state of the art equipment for drying out transformer oil. Dissolved water in transformer oil reduces the effectiveness of the oil to insulate the transformer. Excessive water can cause arching, which creates carbon particulate in the oil.


Water reduces the oil's dielectric strength, thus reducing the efficiency of the transformer.
Velcon's Superdri system removes dissolved water through a patented molecular sieve process, eliminating the need for heat or vacuum. Utilities operators and technicians prefer Velcon Superdri systems due to their ease of use and ultimate effectiveness.
