About Variable-Pressure Vacuum Drying Equipment
Variable-pressure vacuum drying equipment
Description of variable-pressure vacuum drying equipment
This kind of furnace adopts variable-pressure drying principle suggested by Dr. Moll from Germany, specialized for drying transformer and power capacitor bodies. Comparing to conventional vacuum heating drying method, drying duration of this variable-pressure type has been saved about 30-45%.
Application of variable-pressure vacuum drying equipment:
- Drying transformer bodies in grade 10~110kV, capacity less than 100,000kVA
- Drying transformer windings in 110~500kV grade
- Drying current transformer and potential transformer bodies in 110~500kV grade
- Drying power capacitors
- Drying other electrical materials
Main features of variable-pressure vacuum drying equipment:
- Compact structure, small occupation
- High productivity: when drying one 110kV, 40000KVA transformer body, it will take only about 50 hours, close to that by kerosene vapor-phase drying equipment
- Heating system is controlled by power control module, assuring even and stable temperature; Real power consumption during temperature-keeping is only about 35% of total power; There is no fluctuation of heating load and thus reduces actual heating power very much.
- PLC control, high automation, more stable and reliable
- Special baffle valves for vacuum drying, better vacuuming performance

FAQs of Variable-Pressure Vacuum Drying Equipment:
Q: How does the variable-pressure system improve the drying process?
A: The variable-pressure vacuum system allows precise control of pressure conditions within the drying chamber, enhancing the removal of moisture from heat-sensitive and delicate materials. This results in faster drying times and optimal retention of product quality.
Q: What types of vacuum pumps are compatible with the VPVD-800 model?
A: This equipment is compatible with both oil rotary and diaphragm vacuum pumps, providing flexibility to match various application requirements and user preferences in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and laboratory sectors.
Q: When should the optional humidity control feature be used?
A: The optional humidity control is beneficial when specific moisture levels must be maintained or gradually changed during the drying cycle, which is critical for certain pharmaceutical formulations and high-precision laboratory experiments.
Q: Where can this vacuum drying equipment be most effectively utilized?
A: The VPVD-800 is ideally suited for pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, and laboratory research facilities, especially where controlled environment drying of sensitive or high-value materials is required.
Q: What process controls are available to ensure precise drying operation?
A: The instrument features a digital PID controller for accurate temperature regulation, a programmable timer ranging from 0 to 9999 minutes, and a digital LED display for easy monitoring and adjustment of critical parameters.
Q: How does the safety door interlock benefit users?
A: The safety door interlock mechanism ensures the equipment operates only when the door is securely closed, preventing accidental exposure to high temperatures or vacuum conditions and reducing risk during operation.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a stainless steel chamber with polished finish?
A: A stainless steel 304 chamber with a polished surface provides excellent corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and maintains hygienic conditions, making it perfect for pharmaceutical and laboratory applications requiring strict contamination control.
