Maintenance-free intelligent transformer breather
The maintenance-free transformer breather is an air dehumidification and purification device used for oil-immersed transformers, instrument transformers, on-load tap changers, or other electrical equipment filled with insulating liquid. The maintenance-free transformer breather is installed at the air inlet of the instrument transformer's oil storage tank. When the transformer or instrument transformer operates, the oil volume changes due to temperature variations, causing the gas inside the oil storage tank to breathe through the desiccant. Air passes through the filter at the bottom of the desiccant and the glass jar filled with silica gel into the transformer, ensuring that the inhaled air is dry (moisture is adsorbed by the desiccant) and clean (dust and impurities are blocked by the filter), thereby maintaining the cleanliness and insulation strength of the transformer oil.

Product Details
Maintenance-Free Transformer Breather
Product Overview
The maintenance-free transformer breather is an air dehumidification and purification device used for oil-immersed transformers, instrument transformers, on-load tap changers, or other electrical equipment filled with insulating liquid. The breather is installed at the air inlet of the instrument transformer's oil conservator. When the transformer or instrument transformer operates, changes in oil temperature cause the oil volume to expand or contract, forcing the gas inside the oil conservator to breathe through the desiccant. Air passes through the lower filter of the desiccant and the silica gel-filled glass container into the transformer, ensuring that the inhaled air is dry (moisture is adsorbed by the desiccant) and clean (dust and impurities are blocked by the filter), thereby maintaining the cleanliness and insulation strength of the transformer oil.
Product Features
(1) Oil Cup Design: Compatible with traditional breather habits, clearly indicating the current breathing status of the transformer.
(2) Auxiliary Heating: When the ambient temperature is low, auxiliary heating is activated to prevent condensation or freezing of the bottom filter device; it also prevents the oil in the oil cup from freezing at low temperatures.
(3) Condensate Discharge: During regeneration heating, ensures rapid discharge of condensate on the glass wall.
(4) Desiccant Pulverization Treatment: The device is subjected to long-term vibration and desiccant regeneration heating, which causes desiccant pulverization. This device optimizes the structure to ensure that pulverized desiccant does not block the air inlet.
(5) Heating Device Fault Detection: Monitors heating power to determine the reliability of the heating device.
(6) Breathing Volume Monitoring: Measures the breathing volume over a cycle to detect leaks in the connecting pipe; establishes the relationship between transformer oil temperature, breathing volume, and breathing speed.
Product Advantages

Product Functions
1. Installed at the air inlet of the oil conservator, it prevents moist air from directly entering the transformer through drying and absorption, maintaining the excellent electrical performance of the transformer insulating oil.
2. The dryer can be heated and regenerated. Water vapor passes through the metal mesh and condenses on the glass cylinder, with water droplets flowing out of the desiccant along the glass cylinder. Desiccant regeneration heating can be achieved in two ways: according to a preset time interval or when humidity reaches 40%.
3. In case of failure, on-site and remote audible and visual alarms can be triggered, and remote monitoring of the breather status can be realized via RS485.
