The Effect of Mass Flow Distribution Inaccuracies in a Hydraulic Network Model for OD Zig-Zag Cooled Power Transformer Windings

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper the mass flow distribution in zig-zag cooled power transformer windings is shown to play a crucial factor to accurately predict the winding temperature. In order to enable thermo-hydraulic network models for transformer design, new correlations are derived for combining and dividing T-junctions and elbow configurations. Good correspondence is achieved in comparison with CFD simulation results for a zig-zag cooled power transformer winding.
