                       Proactive studies by the U.S. Navy show that "The cost of contamination on marine and aviation equipment per operating hour exceeds 60 percent of the cost of fuel per hour on the same equipment.”

                       Oklahoma State University reports that “When fluid is maintained 10 times cleaner hydraulic pump life can be extended by 50 times.”

                       Massachusetts Institute of Technology states that "Six to Seven percent of the gross production is required just to repair the damage caused by mechanical wear. Wear occurs as a result of contamination."

                       According to the bearings division of TRW, "Contamination is the number one cause of bearing damage that leads to premature removal."

                       Machine Design Magazine reports that "Less than 10 percent of all rolling-element bearings reach the fatigue limit because contamination usually causes wear or sampling failure far earlier."

                       During the operation of generating, transmitting and distributing, Power Transformers give out heat which is absorbed by insulating oils. This oil has a tendency to absorb moisture from windings which leads to gradual deterioration of dielectric strength.

                       To obtain good performance from electric transformers, the insulating oil should be free from moisture, dissolved gases and particles as contaminated oil loses its characteristics of dielectric strengths, resistivity and loss factor. Moisture favors acid and sludge formation. Over time, byproducts are formed inside transformers that decompose the insulation system. These byproducts increase the water content and can cause the transformer to overheat and eventually fail. Our Filtration process extends the Transformer life by removing the contaminants that attack the Transformer's insulation system and reclaiming the oil.

 
 
 
                       Removal of all suspended particles/ contamination such as dust, rust, scales, colloidal carbon oxidation sludge, moisture, etc. up to <1 unicorn, degassing and dehydration of transformer oil under vacuum, circulation of heated oil and filling of treated oil in transformer tank, de-acidification by evaporation and absorption method is a must for ensuring prolonged service life of the Transformer.
 
                       The importance of good quality power makes it very important that all the equipments give their best performance. Transformers being a key equipment, it becomes imperative to maintain optimal insulation properties of the transformer oils by rigid control over moisture, dissolved gases and particulate contamination. Failing in this results in considerable decrease in its BREAK DOWN VOLTAGE, INSULATION RESISTANCE, and increase in DIELECTRIC LOSS FACTOR, leading to breakdowns of transformers. Dehydration/ Filtration save the cost of using new oil frequently and also increases the life of the transformer. Even commercial new oil is seldom sufficiently pure for direct use in high voltage equipment, being subject to contamination in transport containers and liable to absorb unacceptable contaminants and moisture.

                      In order to achieve optimal dielectric strength and insulating performance inside of transformers and circuit breakers, dielectric oils must be kept absolutely clean and dry. Substation Maintenance Contractors and Utilities need a rig that can quickly and reliably process transformer oil to meet or exceed very stringent specifications.

                      We, Dalbir Makkar Electricals takes pride in its ability to provide services specifically designed to meet customer requirements and specifications at reasonable cost.

                      So, we have specially designed, the most effective, durable, and user-friendly Double Stage Ultra Hi-Vacuum Filtration & Transformer Evacuation system in the market today. It is the first plant of its kind in North India.

Before Water
Concentration 86 PPM
After Water
Concentration 2 PPM

                      Our transformer oil filtration procedure involves circulating the hot oil continuously through the rig in a closed loop path. The oil passes through multiple filters, a vacuum dehydration column and a degassing column to remove contaminants, sludge, foreign particles, dissolved gasses and oil decaying byproducts contained in the oil. The heat from the energized transformer aids in dissolving sludge buildup and removing moisture from the insulation. Thus, the customer has clean transformer oil with excellent oil properties.

                      Special engineered design features maximize the moisture and water extraction rates of our system, & top-quality components & workmanship ensure years of maintenance free operation and performance. Our Filtration and Evacuation system provide economical and efficient method of purifying the Transformer Oil and improve the I. R. & P. I. Values of the transformer.
