OPT 100 DGA

Transformer Dissolved Gas Analyzer(DGA)

(Vaisala Optimus DGA Monitor OPT 100)

Vaisala has developed the DGA OTP100 product, an innovative sensor technology innovation. By using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) to measure light intensity, it is highly stable and unaffected by oil pressure and temperature, drastically reducing measurement errors.

It also has no mechanical moving parts and features self-automatic correction, periodically adjusting the zero point within the equipment, which prevents measurement errors from persisting over time and thereby improves measurement stability.

By eliminating the need for consumables, it achieves cost-effectiveness and fully automated measurement. We are expanding the market by completing completely unpaid online monitoring technology. Power plant operators are preferred.

IR technology, working principle

Gas molecules absorb infrared light when exposed to it.

With the increase in molecules in the gas volume

→ stronger absorption.

The measured gas can be selected by changing the wavelength of light with a band-pass filter.

Vaisala uses a solid state H2 sensor, measuring directly in the oil.

Measurement stability->Reliavle gas trends

What if something happens and it shifts 10%?

Absorption : 1 - 58.5/90=35%

-> NO shift in the final result!

Total cost of ownership - TCO

When it comes to overall costs, it's not just the purchase price of the monitor that's being looked at, but also all the operational costs over its lifetime.

→ Exposes potential hidden costs.

→ Makes OPEX (operating expenses) planning easier

Comparing the TCO of different monitors provides the true cost structure of the various options.

Key Advantages of Vaisala OPT100

Measurement performance

Reliable online trend data is the sum of all the details designed for the product and supported by Vaisala's internal manufacturing.

No Maintenance

The OPT100 requires no consumables to operate and the materials used are minimized in the design.

Easy to install

Once the OPT100 location is set up and general plumbing and electrical are installed, the User Interface guides the simple step-by-step setup process.

Easy to use

The easy to use interface operates with all common Web browsers, i.e. no separate Software is required to operate the device.

Total Cost of Ownership

Thanks to all of the above, 15 years of Operation can be enjoyed without significant operational investment.
