Transformer leaks are often caused by degraded gaskets or holes as a result of corrosion and impact on radiator fins or steel tanks. These leaks often feature slow drips, but large volumes of oil can be lost over time and a significant and environmentally damaging amount can leak out.
If this fault occurs, it can cause a short circuit in the transformer and present serious problems for both health and safety. These hazards, along with isolated transformer locations, make inspection, repair, and maintenance challenging.
Al utilizar los materiales para reconstrucciones de emergencia de la serie 1200 de Belzona, las reparaciones pueden llevarse a cabo de manera rápida e in situ. Esto se traduce en que no es necesario drenar el aceite del transformador.
Belzona Maintenance
Transformer maintenance is essential for the efficient operation of electric power companies. Equipment deterioration can cause oil leaks affecting the surrounding environment. Therefore, problems must be resolved quickly to avoid further complications.
Fast-setting, surface-tolerant materials bond strongly to oily or wet metal surfaces. These low temperature applied materials also eliminate the need for hot work and are designed to be easy and safe to use.
As we have already said, certain surfaces may have little adhesion to make an application. However, raw surface tolerant Belzona solutions can plug and seal transformer leaks quickly and with a long life. They resist a wide range of chemicals and provide excellent corrosion protection.
