Modular insulation fluid handling system

1. A modular insulation fluid handling system for protecting insulation fluid of an inductive power device having an expansion vessel and for handling volume variations of said insulation fluid, said modular insulation fluid handling system comprising:

at least a first protective housing comprising a resilient reservoir in the form of a flexible and/or foldable bag filled with an inert gas, a connector, and an adapter sealably connected to the inside of the resilient reservoir;

an interface comprising a ventilation duct terminal and a reservoir terminal being sealably connected to the adapter, wherein the connector is arranged between the adapter and the interface and configured to be connected to a connector of a second protective housing;

an interface connection duct that fluidically interconnects the interface and the adapter; and

a vessel ventilation duct configured to be sealably connected to the expansion vessel and the ventilation duct terminal;

wherein the inside of the resilient reservoir is configured to be in hermetically sealed fluid communication with the expansion vessel via the adapter, the interface and the vessel ventilation duct.

2. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the resilient reservoir comprises a multilayer polymer film or metal foil that prevents water and oxygen from entering into the resilient reservoir.

3. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 2 , wherein the multilayer polymer film comprises ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and/or polyvinylidene chlorid (PVDC).

4. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a back pressure device configured to limit an overpressure of the inert gas in the closed volume.

5. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 4 , wherein an overpressure limit of the back pressure device in the closed volume is less than 0.5 bar, preferably less than 0.1 bar, more preferably less than 0.01 bar.

6. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the protective housing is a collapsible plastic pallet container.

7. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a filling valve fluidically connected to the adapter, said filling valve being used for filling and topping up the inert gas in the resilient reservoir.

8. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the inert gas is nitrogen.

9. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , comprising a housing connection duct, configured to interconnect the connectors of the at least first and second protective housings.

10. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 9 , wherein each protective housing and housing connection duct form a module so that the modular insulation fluid handling system can be extended in case a higher volume of inert gas is needed.

11. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a filling valve fluidically connected to the adapter.

12. The modular insulation fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter extends through a lid of the protective housing and the interface is on a side wall of the protective housing.
