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

The gearboxes installed in wind turbines use gear oil, but due to the constant splashing of oil, oxidation degradation is very severe. On the walls of the gearbox, there is a layer of oxidized substances more than 1mm thick, and oxidized substances also adhere to the gear tooth surfaces. The oxidized oil has a viscosity similar to that of glue, causing it to stick to metal wear particles, leading to troubles and damage to components. To replace the oil in the gearbox, a truck crane is required, which incurs significant costs. However, performing maintenance can 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. CleanTech's EDC (Electrostatic Oil Purifier) is widely adopted in wind power sites across Europe, continuously maintaining the oil in good condition within the generator. This also aligns with efforts towards the SDGs, increasing interest in the reuse of oil. For more details about the machine, please check the download link below.
