Oil To Air Cooled Transformers: Design by Innovation

The document describes an oil-filled transformer enclosure system called OFAF that uses an air cooling system rather than requiring additional space for radiators. The key advantages are that it allows the transformer to operate in any environment regardless of ambient temperature, reduces costs by decreasing tank and oil needs, and improves temperature control. The system circulates oil through a heat exchanger using fans and pumps, and optional sensors can monitor temperature, flow, leaks, and fan operation to control cooling and provide feedback. It is a compact design that can be shipped ready for installation.

OFAF Transformer Enclosures

Oil to air cooled transformers

Design by Innovation
● Product Description
– Definition
OFAF is a oil type transformer (Distribution or Power) system which can stand alone as self-
cooled with only supply of fan power.

– Design figures
● Project Flow
– How to design?
As STE Technic, we support you from quotation to FAT. We suuport all the design,
manufacturing, testing, customer negotiations.

– Flow Chart
● Type of cooling system
– Design details
Transformer radiators can be removed and tank size can be reduced. Also oil and tank cost
can be decreased. By doing so it is possible to put the exchangers far from the transformer.
Also it is possible to decrease the temperature rise of the transformer which causes less
amount of conductor usage.
Another advantage is to operate the transformer in an environment regardless of the ambient
temperature.

– Statements
System can be optimized with the information of environment temperature and transformer
design temperature. With those inputs, pump capacity and fans can be verified. Also other
sensors can check system status provide information.
● Main parts of OFAF OTT
– Main Parts list
- Heat exchanger
- Axial Fans
- Oil pump
- Cooling Control System

– Part Details
- Heat Exchanger  To dissipate heat of transformer to air with a closed loop of oil
circulation. Made of oxidation-proof coated Aluminum/Copper fins and copper piping.
- Axial fans  To circulate air through the exchanger for heat transfer.
- Oil pump  To circulate oil. Can be provided up to IP66.
- Cooling control system  To control all system and give feedback to control room
● Main parts of OFAF OTT
– Part Details
- Sensors Cooling system control devices;

1) Oil flow-rate meter (Optional) 2) Fan operational control (Optional)


Used to check oil flow-rate supplied to heat Fans can be turned-on all the time or the times
exchanger. If below the limits gives warning. when the oil temperature reaches to a predefined
value and an indication of fan fault and alarm can
be prepared.

3) Leakage detector (Optional) 4) Temperature control (Optional)


Used to check oil-in and oil-out status. If there is a Oil-in and oil-out temperature can be monitored if

warning.
● Customer Benefits
– Application areas
OFAF OTT is designed specially for indoor and outdoor operation where there is need of
decreased overall dimensions and optimum cooling requirement.

– Requirements
Design is compact which can be shipped as ready to be installed.
The technical requirements for the design are as follows;
- Transformer ambient temperature (Design temp °C)
- Working conditions (Marine, Indoor, Outdoor, Tropical, etc..)
- Transformer temperature rise
