Dehydrating breathers
7.1
General
Dehydrating breather: facility to absorb the humidity of the air, breathed inside liquid immersed
transformers and reactors, due to the thermal contraction of the liquid. $
%This subclause defines the general overall dimensions and pipe connections to guarantee the
interchangeability of conventional breathers having the same air dehydrating characteristics.

This subclause does not include self-regenerating breathers.&
#7.2
Selection criteria
The choice of a breather depends on the size of the transformer, on the climate condition of the
site where the transformer will be installed and on the operating conditions.
Table 8 is a guideline based on the quantity of oil of the transformer and on the average climatic
condition of central Europe.
The choice of the sealing guard of the breather against the external atmosphere is subject to
agreement between purchaser and supplier, as there is full equivalence of the performance of a
breather fit with hydraulic guard (see 7.5.2) or mechanical guard (see 7.5.3).

The container may be of glass or plastic material; it may be provided with an external
metallic frame with the function of mechanical protection, typically against hits, and of shield
protection against direct sun radiation.
The top part, hereafter denominated Cap, fitted with a flanged or tapped connection,
which enables the fixation of the breather to the air-inlet tube to the conservator; the cap
must allow an easy detachment of the container for the normal service operations, without
disconnecting the cover from the pipe; $

from the purchaser), with a hydraulic or mechanical device which allows the air to pass in
both directions (inlet and outlet) only if there is a pressure differential between inside and
outside the conservator. In the case of air suction the air must get inside the breather
passing only through the hydraulic or mechanical device;
the screws exposed to the atmosphere which shall be of stainless steel.
7.5
Requirements
7.5.1
General
All the surfaces exposed to the atmosphere shall withstand the environmental conditions
according to EN 50216-1, either because of the properties of the material or because of an
adequate treatment.
7.5.2
Hydraulic guard
The following requirements apply only in the case of the hydraulic sealing guard:
it is better to use the same liquid inside the transformer;
the level of the liquid inside the device shall be visible for inspection;
the liquid container shall have a filling mark to indicate the correct level.
The design of the device shall be such to keep the liquid inside its container avoiding the liquid
to be inspired inside the dehydrating agent housing in case of strong air suction (sudden
cooling) or sprayed out in case of strong air expiration (sudden heating). The value of the air
flow rate to be used for the design of the hydraulic guard is shown in Table 8.
7.5.3
Mechanical guard
There is an automatic double-acting valve.

The air is free to pass in both directions (inlet and outlet) through that valve, which enables the
air flow when the transformer is on.
The valve protects the dehydrating agent when the transformer is off. No liquid is necessary.
7.5.4
Dehydrating agent
The dehydrating agent, typically spheroids of Silicagel, shall have a granulometry between
2 mm up to 7 mm and shall be not much dusty.
It is preferable to use a dehydrating agent with a visual indication of its grade of saturation.
7.6
Mounting arrangement
The breather is normally mounted in vertical position in a location, easy to be approached for
maintenance operation and for the replacement of the dehydrating agent.
7.7
Tests
7.7.1
Type test
Verify the correct functionality of the breather with flow rate as indicated in Table 8.
7.7.2
Routine test
Visual inspection.$
