Optional features
Process controls 1) INSULATING SYSTEM
This option enables, in case of incident or any sudden treatment stopping (power cut), to insulate the plant from the electric appliance
to be treated and thus to prevent from dangerous oil flowing into the oil treatment plant.
2) HIGH LEVEL DETECTION SYSTEM
This option enables the automatic stop of the plant, when the valve, which protects the vacuum pump, is full. This reinforced safety
and avoids the transfer of the condensates in the vacuum pump.
3) AUTOMATIC DRAINING OF THE VALVE
This option enables an optimal protection of the vacuum network of the plant.
4) VOLTMETER / AMPERE METER
This option will enable you to visualize the feeding tension of the plant as well as the developed intensity in order to protect the net-
work and the equipment.
5) RECORDER
This option ables to record the physical dimensions, characterizing the degazing process, like the temperature and the vacuum.
6) QUALITY CONTROL OF OILS

The presentations 1) CART

The oil treatment can be installed on a cart with full tyres (maxi speed : 20 km/h).
2) ROAD TRAILER
The oil treatment plant can be installed on a road trailer. The trailer can be equipped with rear lights in accordance with the EU regu-
lations of road code. The whole installation is commissioned by the French government vehicle testing service to be allowed to circu-
late in France and European countries.
3) TARPAULIN PROTECTION
The plant can be equipped with a protection type tarpaulin, which protects it from the bad weather.
The tarpaulin can be opened on the four side panels to enable the access to all the components of the plant.
4) METALLIC COVER PROTECTION
The plant can be equipped with a metallic cover type protection, which protects it from the bad weather. It is made of aluminium
with a frame made of iron steel. The side panels opens horizontally, closing per key and are maintained thanks to gas jacks. The pan-
els enable the access to the components of the plant.

The transformers drying 1) TRANSFORMER DRYING

(The vacuum technology) This option enables to make vacuum in the transformer in order to dry the active parts while the oil is treated. The pump is installed
parallel to the first one to increase the pumping capacity of the plant.
2) DOUBLE STAGE PUMPING GROUP
In case of this option, the primary vacuum pump mounted on the plant is completed with a second pump stage composed of a roots.
3) AUXILIARY VACUUM CONNECTION
This option enables to have an additional vacuum connection on the plant.
4) CONDENSOR AND COOLING GROUP
This option enables an optimal protection of the pump group in case of high water content treatment.

The transformers drying 1) TRANSFER PUMP

(Oil heating and transfer) This option enables to increase the hoses length between the plant and the transformer.
2) HIGHER HEATING POWER
The standard heating power of the ARRAS MAXEI oil treatment plants has been calculated for a weight ratio between oil and trans-
former about 4. In case of a higher ratio, we recommend to increase the heating power of the plant.
3) AUXILIARY HEATING CONNECTION
This option enables to have an additional heating connection. It allows to heat the transformer per oil circulation through the plant
heater.
4) SAFETY LEVEL ON TRANSFORMER
This option is installed on the upper part of the transformer to control the variations of the oil level in this one.
