What is Vapor Phase Drying?
Vapor Phase Drying is a process of removing the moisture from the insulation by using advanced technology in transformer drying. It also uses hydrocarbon to add heat concurrent with vacuum drying. It generally uses Kerosene to shift the heat to the transformer.

Application of Vapor Phase Drying of Transformer
Vapor Phase Drying (VPD) can be used to dry transformers of various types like
- Power Transformers
- Instrument Transformers
- CT & VT
- Bushings
Process of Vapor Phase Drying of Transformer
Process of Vapor Phase Drying is using Hydrocarbon Vapor (Kerosene) to transfer the heat to the transformer. Since Vapors can reach the most difficult areas of the transformer the drying results are optimum and even. Drying of transformers is done under vacuum to achieve the best results. The process is automatic and programmable by PLC system.

Advantages of Vapour Phase Drying Process
• Drying of Insulation in Various Electrical Parts is required and can take up to 3 weeks by conventional air heating in air & vacuum. VPD can accomplish the same drying in as little as 2 days
• In VPD both heating and drying take place simultaneously.
• Solvent vapors can reach the coldest part of the transformer
• Rapid heating rate e.g. VPD 500-1000 W/m2 oc compared to Air 5-10 W/m2 oc
• Uniform heating to all components of an assembled electrical equipment
• Savas offers modular skid mounted system, designed for optimised installation and maintenance.
