How Oil-Water Flow Indicators Prevent Transformer Cooling Failure

Effective cooling significantly influences the safety and reliability of transformers. In the case of an oil-immersed transformer, correct fluid circulation is absolutely necessary. One of the best guards against the failure of a cooling system is the oil-water flow indicator. In this paper, we look at how an oil-water flow indicator protects the transformer, why Dhruthi Cell's oil-water flow indicator is an ideal choice, and how this device can help avert disastrous cooling failures.

Why is Transformer Cooling Important?

Transformers produce much heat while working. Without cooling, these high temperatures begin to deteriorate the insulating oil and damage the windings, which can result in transformer failure. In transformers using forced circulation of cooling agent, such as oil pumps and water cooling, any failure of flow will impede the dissipation of heat and result in overheating.

The oil-water flow indicator from Dhruti Sales is a simple but powerful tool, acting as a safety guard in the cooling circuit by monitoring direction and speed of coolant flow. In the case of an abnormal condition determined through this flow indicator, an alert or trip occurs, which calls maintenance teams into action before overheating of the system can result.
