Silica Gel For Breather Transformer
Silica gel is used in breather transformers for controlling the level of moisture and prevents it from entering the equipment. They are mainly useful in protecting the transformer oil from the damaging effects of moisture. Silica gel blue crystals and orange beads work effectively in this application. They are manufactured by keeping in mind the requirement of the application as per the industry standards.
When the crystals or beads of silica gel adsorb the moisture, their colour turns from blue to pink. Silica gel is available in range of grades and mesh sizes that make it a perfect adsorbent for air breathers. You need to select the most suitable silica gel based on the exact specification and quantity required for the application. This adsorbent has the ability to enhance the breather transformer efficiency by controlling the moisture to get entered into the transformer oil.
When load on transformer increases, it gradually increases the flow of current too. When the crystals or beads of silica gel adsorb the moisture, their colour turns from blue to pink.

Silica Gel Breather Transformers for Power Generation Companies
The development of moisture can have adverse effects on the electrical equipment and its functioning in the long run. However, it becomes more than important to control the level of moisture in power plants and prevent it from entering the equipment. Silica gel is used as a desiccant to achieve the desired results in breather transformers and it protects the oil in the transformer against the damaging effects of the moisture.
To avoid this situation, a breather is used in the transformer which helps in filtering out the moisture from the air. Breather consists of silica gel which is a good desiccant and works well at high temperatures.
Silica Gel Breather is fitted to the conservator tank which is connected to the oil-filled transformers and absorbs moisture during the breathing process.
Swambe Chemicals is the well-known leading manufacturer and supplier of Silica Gel for Transformers. It provides silica gel with various specifications and mesh sizes to fulfil the different needs of industrial clients. Silica Gel Breather Transformer marketed by Swambe Chemicals is of supreme quality and is effective at improving the function of the transformer.
Swambe Chemicals is the silica gel supplier and it manufactures the silica gel crystals in two types: Indicating and Non-Indicating. Blue Silica Gel Crystal is the indicating silica gel that contains cobalt as a moisture indicator and it changes the colour of the crystals to pink colour after moisture adsorption. It comes in different mesh sizes such as 1-3 mesh, 3-4 mesh, 3-8 mesh, 5-8, 9-16 mesh, etc.
White silica gel crystal is the non-indicating type. It does not contain a moisture indicator to indicate moisture absorption. The colour of the silica gel crystals remains the same even after the moisture adsorption. White Silica Gel Crystals come in various mesh sizes such as 1-2 mesh, 3-4 mesh, 5-8 mesh, 9-16 mesh etc.
