Operating an Air Drying System in transformer maintenance facilities requires specific environmental conditions to maximize its effectiveness and ensure optimal performance. Ideally, the facility should maintain a controlled temperature and humidity level to facilitate efficient moisture removal from transformer oil. Temperatures should be kept at a level that supports the evaporation of moisture without causing thermal stress or degradation of transformer components. Additionally, low ambient humidity is crucial, as high humidity can reduce the system’s capacity to absorb moisture from the oil, thereby diminishing drying efficiency. Adequate ventilation is also important to ensure that the dry air circulated through the system remains free of contaminants and can effectively carry away moisture-laden air from the transformer. Furthermore, the facility should be free from dust and other particulate matter that could clog filters and impair the Air Drying System’s functionality. Maintaining a clean and stable environment not only enhances the performance of the Air Drying System but also contributes to the overall reliability and longevity of the transformers being serviced.
