SES328 - Cold Traps
SES328
Vacuum Line Cold Traps

SESCO Vacuum Line Cold Traps measure the rate and quantity of water removed during transformer vacuum dry out. Oil processor integrated, stand alone, and portable versions are available.

The SES328 family of vacuum line cold traps are targeted as tool to help quantify the rate and volume of water extraction during the transformer vacuum dry out process. The sublimated water vapor condenses and frezes when it contacts the trap extreme cold  surface. An extraction rate is determined by periodiclydefrosting to melt the ice and measuring the collected water over a given time period. Refrigerated and liquid nitrogen cooled traps are available. Single stage refrigerated traps are used for trapping between vacuum pump stages. Liquid nitrogen and two stage (Cascade) refrigerated systems are cold enough to trap at evacuation pressures.

The liquid nitrogen cold trap uses bottled liquid nitrogen as a chilling media to provide the necessary vapor trapping surface temperatures. The extracted water and oil vapors are trapped on the surface of a liquid nitrogen-filled thimble. At measuring intervals, the thimble is removed. Ice is collected thawed for water measurement. A trap bypass line permits continuous evacuation during measuring cycles. The nitrogen trap is inexpensive, small, efficient, and maintenance free but must be defrosted manually. Handling the liquid nitrogen is very easy and safe with the standard protective clothing provided.
