Current method & challenge

The transformer manufacturer was using cork gaskets, but due to gaps left between the flanges he was facing the following challenges.

Precut gaskets were not able to tackle the surface irregularities in the flanges.
Cork gaskets deformed over time leading to creation of leak paths.

This led to a high number of service requests due to leakages at the customers end.

Solution

Oil tank flange is cleaned with a solvent based cleaner. LOCTITE SI 5910 is uniformly applied. The top cover of the oil tank is sealed, and bolts are tightened.

Result

50% lower service request.
No need to maintain large inventory of different gasket sizes.

Additional benefit

Reduction 50% in
service requests

Reduced power loss
