ONAN cooling method is best suited for small-rating oil-filled transformers up to 5 MVA. ONAF stands for Oil Natural Air Forced cooling. The schematic diagram of ONAF is given below. The transformer above 5 MVA rating ONAN cooling system is inadequate, and the ONAF system is used to reject the heat developed in the transformer.

2019年5月14日 · Where OA classified a transformer as liquid-immersed self-cooled in the past, it is now designated by the new system as ONAN. Similarly, the previous FA classification is now identified as ONAF. FOA could be OFAF or ODAF, depending on whether directed oil flow is employed or not.

2011年8月15日 · For example: ONAN designates an oil filled unit that has natural convection flow in the tank and utilizes natural air convection cooling externally. If this transformer has fans added for forced air externally, the designation would be ONAF.

Enhanced Cooling Efficiency: Suitable for transformers with higher power ratings. Flexibility: Combines natural and forced cooling to meet greater heat dissipation demands. ONAF is commonly used in medium to large power transformers, ensuring reliable performance even under heavy loads.

2023年4月11日 · ONAN and ONAF cooling are the most widespread cooling methods of liquid-immersed power transformers including those in variable frequency drive systems. ONAN cooling uses natural oil circulation and natural air convection.

2024年1月12日 · Larger substation transformers might use either method for additional cooling and loading capacity (ONAN/ONAF). "ONWF" transformers use water cooling equipment to force water across the transformer surface with heat exchanging equipment.

Self cooling (ONAN) technology utilizes the oil flow and gas channels of the transformer itself to achieve cooling, while air cooling (ONAF) technology utilizes external air to cool the transformer.

2014年4月18日 · ONAN (OA) Oil-immersed, self-cooled. Transformer windings and the core are immersed in some type of oil and are self-cooled by the natural circulation of air around the outside enclosure. Fins or radiators may be attached to the enclosure to aid in cooling.

2024年12月27日 · ONAF (Oil Natural Air Forced) and KNAF (Kerosene Natural Air Forced) augment natural cooling with forced air circulation using fans. Fans increase airflow across the transformer radiators for heat dissipation.

2012年2月24日 · Fans blow air onto the cooling surface, removing heat more effectively than natural air. This method is called ONAF, which stands for “Oil Natural Air Forced”. Because ONAF cools faster than ONAN, electrical power transformer can handle more load without exceeding temperature limits.
