FANQUIP says a preventive approach to cooling transformers and generators can help extend the life of these pieces of equipment by up to five times.
According to Fanquip, overheating is a common problem with industrial transformers and generators, caused by outdated and naïve cooling practices.
Fanquip says a transformer’s air quality is a clear indicator of the condition of the unit. Poor air quality is a sure sign of transformer fatigue caused by overheating, but by then it’s almost too late for the transformer to perform at its best.
Fanquip says its engineers can retrofit fan-based cooling systems to existing installations to prevent overheating in the first place. These solutions should be factored in from the start to gain the greatest performance and longevity of each unit.
Fanquip claims fans are needed to cool generators from the moment the system begins operation. In the case of many transformer and generators, they originate from Europe, and so are designed for cooler temperatures.
However, the Australian climate means fan cooling is needed for these pieces of equipment.
