What is a dry type transformer?
A dry type transformer is an electrical device that is used in AC power distribution systems to safely “step up” or “step down” voltages to meet the incoming power requirements of connected equipment. Dry type transformers achieve this goal without modifying the frequency or amount of electrical power to help ensure connected devices can operate reliably.
Dry type transformers are static devices, meaning they contain no continuously moving mechanical parts. This contributes to their long lifecycle and minimal maintenance requirements. They can range in size from enormous devices that weighs several tons, commonly used in power substations, to very small devices that weigh only a few ounces and are commonly found in compact electrical equipment.
Thanks to their design flexibility and critical role in the electrical system, transformers are used in nearly every power distribution system application including commercial buildings, schools, healthcare & institutions, water/wastewater, industrial, oil & gas and data centers.
How to use dry transformers to save energy?
1.Use energy saving equipment: Use energy saving equipment in dry transformer systems such as frequency converters, energy recovery devices, etc., to improve overall energy efficiency.
2.Load matching: Adjust the operating load of the dry-type transformer according to the actual load to avoid overload or underload and improve energy efficiency.
3.Temperature control: Keep the operating temperature of the dry-type transformer within the appropriate range to avoid overheating or undercooling to reduce energy consumption.
4.Energy-saving operation strategy: Formulate energy-saving operation strategy such as reasonable adjustment of operation period, optimization of operation parameters, etc. to reduce energy consumption.
5.Efficient design and selection: Select efficient dry transformers and ensure they are designed to meet energy efficiency standards and requirements to improve energy efficiency.
6.Diversified energy utilization: combined with other energy-saving equipment and technology such as solar power generation, wind power generation, etc. to further save energy.
7.Regular maintenance and inspection: Regular maintenance and inspection of the dry type transformer to maintain its normal operation and avoid energy waste and loss.
Why do dry transformers save energy?
Dry type transformers use a variety of advanced technology and design means to achieve energy saving goals. The following details several aspects of its energy saving:
1.Efficient heat dissipation performance
The design of the dry type transformer takes into account the excellent heat dissipation performance, which effectively reduces the energy loss caused by temperature. Its unique heat dissipation structure, such as the use of efficient heat sinks and low-loss insulation materials, can quickly conduct the heat generated during operation, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing loss.
2.Excellent material selection and process optimization
Dry type transformers use high-quality materials in the production process and reduce energy loss through process optimization. The conductive materials used in modern dry type transformers have low resistivity, which means that the loss is greatly reduced when the current passes . At the same time, the use of advanced production technology and fine processing technology ensure the stability of product quality, so as to achieve the best energy saving effect.
3.Flexible operation mode and control technology
Dry type transformer can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the intelligent control system can automatically adjust the operating state of the transformer according to the load situation, avoiding excessive energy consumption during light load. In addition, dry type transformers can also be combined with renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind energy, to further improve energy efficiency and achieve energy saving goals.
