Contributing to the SDGs: Numerous applications of wind turbines! Electrostatic oil purifier 'EDC'

The gearbox installed inside the wind turbine experiences severe oil oxidation degradation, leading to damage to the tooth surfaces and bearings.

The gearbox (gearbox) installed in wind turbines uses gear oil, but since it constantly splashes oil, oxidation deterioration is very severe. On the walls of the gearbox, there is a layer of oxidized degradation material more than 1mm thick, and oxidized degradation material also adheres to the gear tooth surfaces. The oxidized substances in the oil have a viscosity similar to glue, causing them to stick to metal wear particles, leading to troubles and damage in various parts. To replace the oil in the gearbox, a truck crane is required, which incurs significant costs. However, performing maintenance can also result in substantial damage. EDC removes oil-related contaminants generated during operation and maintains oil quality stability. It is a unique oil purification device that can reduce the burden on equipment. Clean Tech's EDC (electrostatic oil purifier) is widely adopted in wind power sites in Europe, continuously maintaining the oil in good condition within the generator. This also ties into efforts related to the SDGs, increasing interest in the reuse of oil. For more details about the machine, please check the download below.
