Most stages of maintenance and repair work on power transformers require depressurization of their active part.
Depressurization can result in wet atmospheric air getting into the windings insulation, which is undesirable. To prevent this happening GlobeCore produces a “Mojave Heat-100” unit, the last model was shipped to the Customer in September.
The equipment carries out drying of transformer tanks with dry hot air with was previously purified from moisture and mechanical impurities. Also a “Mojave Heat-100” regenerates the adsorbent.

“Mojave Heat-100” consists of an adsorber, a blower and a heater. The equipment is compact in size, which is convenient for transportation and use.
Adsorbent regeneration is realized directly in the unit. It eliminates zeolite losses when loading and offloading.
