What Is a Corrugated Transformer Tank?

A corrugated transformer tank is a specially designed oil-filled transformer enclosure with corrugated steel walls that provide both:

  1. Transformer oil containment
  2. Natural cooling through increased heat dissipation surface area

Unlike traditional flat-wall transformer tanks, corrugated fin tanks use formed steel panels to improve cooling efficiency while reducing overall transformer size.

The corrugated structure allows transformer oil expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, making it ideal for hermetically sealed transformers without conservators.

Radiastar Corrugated Transformer Tank Manufacturing Capability

As an experienced transformer tank manufacturer, Radiastar provides complete production solutions from raw material preparation to finished tank assembly.

Manufacturing Process

1. High-Quality Steel Plate Cutting

Transformer tanks are manufactured using premium low-carbon steel plates with excellent:

  • Mechanical strength
  • Weldability
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Long-term oil compatibility

Common materials:

  • Q235B carbon steel
  • Q345B high-strength steel
  • Customer specified steel grades

2. Corrugated Fin Forming Process

The corrugated panels are produced through precision hydraulic forming equipment.

Advantages:

  • Uniform corrugation depth
  • High mechanical strength
  • Improved heat dissipation
  • Reduced oil temperature rise
  • Better vacuum resistance

Typical corrugation designs:

  • Single-wave corrugated fins
  • Multi-wave corrugated walls
  • Customized fin spacing

3. Automatic Welding Technology

Radiastar uses advanced welding processes including:

  • Automatic seam welding
  • MIG/MAG welding
  • Robotic welding (optional)

Benefits:

  • High sealing reliability
  • Smooth welding appearance
  • Reduced oil leakage risk
  • Improved service life

Each transformer tank undergoes:

  • Leakage testing
  • Pressure testing
  • Vacuum testing

before shipment.
