The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking input from Industry and as part of an effort to identify technologies and equipment that will lower the oil temperature of an existing (12) 10MW, 161/6.9 KV single phase transformers located at Parker Dam California, for at 10 degrees centigrade. The space available to install standalone equipment limited to a 6' x 10' area per each set of 3 transformers. The transformer information is as follows: No load loss 12.5 Kw Total losses 36.5 Kw at 85 degrees centigrade Oil quantity 1850 Gal Currently ambient outside temperature 40 Degrees centigrade Highest top temperature 70 Degrees centigrade Winding temperature 74 Degrees centigrade Load 27 Kw Temperature rise: average winding 65 Degrees centigrade Temperature rise: hot spot 80 Degrees centigrade Temperature rise: top oil 65 Degrees centigrade Information requested: Responders are asked to answer the following general questions: By how many degrees centigrade can a standalone transformer oil cooler, lower the oil temperature for the transformer What kind of modification is required to add potential coolers to the existing transformers? What is the potential equipment cooling Kw rating? Does potential equipment use water or air as cooling method? What is the potential equipment flow rate? Does potential equipment have leak detection capabilities?
