RUBBER AIR CELLS

for oil preservation system of
Power Transformer
Page 2 sur 5

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
for standard oil conservator
( cylinder shape )





Material :

Nitrile rubber ( NBR ) on oil and air side, with textile reinforcement on Polyamid high
tenacity ( annexe 1 DOC/COM/010 )


The internal faces of the rubber air cell are coated with a barrier film. This film is vulcanized
with the internal rubber in one operation. This barrier improves the life time of the product
(Better ozone resistance) *



Flange :

The gasket between the rubber air cell and the flange is directly vulcanized in one operation.
This procures a better quality in leakness avoidance. That also means that this gasket is made
with the same material than the rubber air cell , can not pollute the oil, can not be forgotten
and is guarrantied during all the life time of the product.

Example of flange :



*This barrier film could be optionnal depending on the customer specifications

Fixation loops :

The loops are manufactured with a reinforced coated fabric which avoid a possible tear.









Identification :

Each rubber air cell is manufactured with our company name and our serial number, with no
additional label. It is printed directly in the rubber in order to avoid all risk of oil pollution.
We do not recommended the using of sticker or heat welding label which could not be in
accordance with ASTM D974, D877, D924 and D1500.

Test :

All rubber air cells are tested before shipment :
- a leakage test with a least 0.2 bar during 1 hour
- a visual test with soap of the assembly




Test report :

All air cells are delivered with a routing test report that means that 100 % of our air rubber
cells are tested before shipment. ( annexe 2 DOC/ATE/029 )

Cleaning :

Each rubber air cell is cleaned before shipment in order to be used directly in the oil
conservator. After the tests, the rubber air cell is transported in specific wagons.

Packing :

Rubber air cells are delivered in a reinforced carboard box
Sizes : 1500 X 300 X 400 mm ( annexe 3 / drawing MF0522-00 )
The instructions for the installation and a test report are sent with the rubber air cell
( annexe 4 )

INSTALLATION OF THE MUSTBALANCE MBT


Push the MBT into the conservator through the open end or inspection hatch in the end of
the conservator.

Suspend the MBT from hooks (2) in the ceiling of the conservator using the loops

Fit the MBT flange (8) on the conservator flange using a ring* (7) to ensure airtightness of
the system

Close the open end of the conservator

Fill the MBT to a pressure of 10kPa (0,1 bar). Close the filling valve (3) while leaving the
system pressurised. A relief hole (4) must be on the oil filled side of the conservator so that
the MBT can freely expand.

The MBT will gradually stabilise. After 6 hours, adjust the air pressure again to 10kPa (0,1
bar). A 24 hours leak test is then to be made on the MBT. After 24 hours check the
pressure reading again. If the pressure has not dropped significantly, the test is correct. The
temperature should be as stable as possibly during the leakage testing period.





FILLING THE CONSERVATOR


Check that the air pressure in the MBT is 10kPa (0,1 bar). If not, increase the pressure to
the correct level and close the air-filling valve.
Open the air vent valves (4) in both ends of the conservator.
Open the valve (6) between the conservator and transformer tank and pump in more oil so
that the oil rises to the conservator. The pumping speed should be suitably slow so that the
pressure within the MBT does not exceed 13 kPa (0,13 bar). Stop pumping, when oil
begins to come out of the vent valves and close the vent screws.
Adjust the pressure in the MBT to normal by opening the plug in the flange or air filling
valve from which the pressure hose is removed.
Reopen the valve (6) between the conservator and the transformer tank and continue filling
with oil until the oil level indicator gives the correct reading according to the temperature
of transformer.






* MUSTHANE can also supply compression rings for contact with transformer oil. Their advantages: excellent
mechanical properties, resistance to temperature and aging.
