Transformer oil coolers BETA & CETA

Luvata is pleased to present to the market

its renewed transformer oil coolers.
The BETA and CETA series of transformer oil coolers
have been improved in accordance with the
new ErP 2013 directive and following the EN 50216.
General Features
A new type of motor has been installed
in the fan section, offering significant
improvement in noise level and power
consumption, but also cooling capacity.
The new integrated fan-motor features
external rotor technology for faster and
easier maintenance.
The BETA and CETA transformer oil coolers
are delivered as fully factory-assembled
units. The difference between the two
coolers is their size - CETA is larger than
BETA. Each cooler consists of a casing with
a finned tube heat exchanger, with one or
up to four fan units. If the cooler has more
than one fan, the fans are separated by
partition walls. This enables better power
regulation, by switching on or off one fan
at a time depending on the unique cooling
needs. The cooler is designed to withstand
vibrations, shocks, seismic forces and
thermal movements.

The new integrated fan-motor features external rotor technology with higher efficiency and lower sound.

The Luvata transformer oil cooler

concept, type Oil Forced Air Forced
(OFAF), offers many benefits including:

Finned heat exchanger

The finned heat exchanger includes bolted
headers made of anti-corrosion coated
steel. The rubber o-rings arranged between
the headers and the tube plates provide
an effective seal. The finned coil body is
standard made of aluminium, making it
highly corrosion resistant. The continuous
arrangement of the coil fins and the wide
fin pitch provide good resistance against
clogging. Plugged vent and drain connections are provided on each header.

Pre-designed with simple ordering

Two types BETA & CETA
Different sizes within each cooler type
Wide capacity range
High cooling capacity and compact
design
Low sound level - different fan speeds
Low energy consumption
Two different connections within one
motor: Delta and Star
Horizontal or vertical installation design
Thoroughly cleaned inside by oil flushing
Different materials available
Computer program available for
correct sizing

Fan unit
The fan unit has a direct-driven axial fan.
The impeller blades and hub are made
of aluminium. The impeller is balanced
according to ISO-1940/1. The fan is
driven by a totally enclosed, three-phase,
induction motor with protection class IP55
and F-insulation. The motor is delivered
with open drain holes. This new fan-motor
design provides the external rotor solution

as standard. The fans are also available in

different speeds, depending on the sound
requirements.
Safety switch
Each motor is cabled to a lockable safety
switch. The switch has a normally open
auxiliary contact.
Casing
The casing of the heat exchanger is made
of hot-dip galvanized steel. The fan deck
is made of Aluzinc steel sheet and the
fan cone is made of painted pre-galvanized
steel. If required it can be painted for
esthetical reasons or increased corrosion
protection. The casing is provided with
lifting lugs as well as brackets, in order to
fit the cooler to the transformer. The fan
protection guard, fixed with the fan, can
easily be removed for inspection or when
replacement of the fan or motor is required.

Packing & Electric cabling

Coolers ready for shipment.

The connection box is made of stainless steel.

Packing
The transformer coolers are delivered bolted
to a wooden pallet, but separate wooden
boxes or alternative packing options are also
available upon request. A protective plastic
wrapping covers the fan unit. The oil connections of the heat exchanger are covered.

Cabling and connection box

For easier electric power supply connection,
the fan motors are cabled from each safety
switch to one common connection box.
The connection box is made of stainless
steel equipped with terminals and has
a venting membrane. Each motor is
equipped with a thermal contact that can
be cabled to the common connection box
(on request).

Cleanliness
Before delivery each cooler is carefully
cleaned inside by flushing with transformer
oil, with an on-line particle counter to
ensure it meets the requirements for
cleanliness for power transformer applications in accordance with ISO 440, 10/7.
The oil connections are sealed off and
tightened for shipment.

Transformer oil circulation pump type

VMOA can be supplied by Luvata
Sderkping AB. The pump has an
integrated motor and is highly efficient,
cooled and lubricated by the transformer
oil, robust, reliable and maintenance
free. The sound level is also low. The
pump can be supplied in two different
sizes and with varying flow rates.

The standard cable type is BETAflam

145flex and the terminal blocks are
supplied by Phoenix. Extra cable with
terminal blocks for connection of an
oil circulation pump motor can be
provided (on request).

Oil pump type VMOA.

Computer selection program COILS

The BETA and CETA transformer oil coolers are available in a wide
range of configurations. Luvatas computer program COILS is used to
select and size the correct cooler. The program generates a print-out
of technical data and a dimensional drawing of the selected cooler.
Some variables to be considered while sizing and selecting include:
Cooling capacity
Oil flow rate & temperatures
Fan motor power supply
Ambient temperature
Environmental conditions
Sound level (fan speed)

Cooler size
Number of fans
Number of tube rows
Number of oil passes
With or without turbulators
Mounting alternative

Contact us and we can supply you with the program or help you in
selecting the optimal cooler.
