Choose the Right Transformer Silica Gel

Don't know how to choose the right transformer silica gel? Read the following details and find the one most suitable for your machine.

Silica Gel Breathers: Enhancing Transformer Performance

Silica gel breathers safeguard transformers by preventing moisture ingress, thus extending their lifespan and ensuring reliable performance. Cost-effective and easy to monitor, they are indispensable components in power distribution systems.

Silica gel breathers are essential components in transformer systems, mitigating the detrimental effects of moisture ingress. These cylindrical devices house silica gel, a highly absorbent material that prevents moisture from penetrating the transformer's internal components. By regulating moisture levels, silica gel breathers prolong the lifespan of transformers, preserving insulation integrity and minimizing the risk of malfunctions.
 

One of the key advantages of silica gel breathers is their cost-effectiveness. Compared to alternative moisture management solutions, they offer a more affordable option with minimal maintenance requirements. Additionally, silica gel breathers are easy to monitor; a simple visual inspection of the silica gel color indicates when replacement or regeneration is necessary.

How to Select the Transformer Silica Gel

Follow the below guidelines of how to choose the right transformer. Contact us if you still have problems!  

Indicating color silica gel Orange to White is a type of silica gel that changes color from orange to white as it absorbs moisture. The European Union designated cobalt chloride as a Category II carcinogenic substance in 1998.

Blue silica gel, also known as indicating silica gel, is a type of desiccant that absorbs moisture from the air to maintain a dry environment.It contains a moisture-sensitive color indicator. This indicator, typically cobalt (II) chloride, changes color from blue to pink as the gel absorbs moisture. 

Indicating color silica gel Orange to Green is a type of silica gel that changes color from orange to white as it absorbs moisture. The European Union designated cobalt chloride as a Category II carcinogenic substance in 1998.
