Content details
Content details
Tower-type moisture absorber is a vertical, large-capacity dehydrating breather designed for high-capacity oil-immersed transformers, reactors and on-load tap changers. It adopts a slim, tall cylindrical tower structure, providing a larger internal volume for desiccant loading compared with conventional horizontal or short-bottle models. This design significantly extends maintenance cycles and enhances moisture absorption stability under continuous operation.
It efficiently controls moisture ingress into the transformer conservator, maintains insulation oil quality, prevents oil emulsification and insulation degradation, and supports long-term stable operation of high-voltage power equipment.

Key Features

  • Vertical Tower Structure: Slim, tall cylindrical design maximizes silica gel capacity in limited installation space.
  • Large Desiccant Volume: Holds 5kg–20kg of indicator silica gel (orange/blue), greatly extending replacement intervals.
  • Dual/Oil-Seal Protection: Multi-stage oil cup and labyrinth seal to prevent oil splashing, dust entry and moisture backflow.
  • High-Strength Housing: Made of thickened carbon steel, stainless steel or cast aluminum with anti-corrosion coating for outdoor durability.
  • Stable Airflow: Uniform air distribution through the desiccant bed for consistent, efficient dehumidification.
  • Easy Maintenance: Top-loading port for silica gel refilling; detachable oil cup for quick cleaning and inspection.
  • Weather & Corrosion Resistance: IP55–IP65 protection, suitable for high humidity, coastal, industrial and remote areas.
  • Standard Flange Connection: DN50/DN80/DN100 flanges for easy installation and retrofitting.
  • Wide Temperature Range: Operates stably from -40°C to +60°C without performance degradation.
