Water Condensation and Corrosion: Major Challenge at Sea
The environment around the seashore is generally very high in humidity. It is because of the huge mass of water body which contributes to the humidity sometimes reaching 100 percent. Due to high humid air when the temperature drops significantly at night condensation on the surfaces and interior part of a wind turbine can be seen. This can cause potential damage to the various systems of the wind turbine bringing the operating system to a halt.
The main challenge a wind turbine has to face near the offshore is the corrosion of metal parts due to the humidity in the air. The tower and the wind turbine itself are made up of mostly metal parts hence it is a challenge to keep the humidity level below the danger level. Electrical failure is also quite common in the wind turbine system due to corrosion. This can substantially increase the maintenance cost in addition to the operation cost. It increases the operational downtime and also significantly decreases the lifespan of the turbine itself. To protect the turbines from facing such risks it is better to position the dehumidifiers in the wind turbine plants. Read More on Why Dehumidifiers are essential for Wind Turbines?
Why install dehumidifiers and increase expenses?
For many people, the dehumidifiers installed in the wind turbine are just some additional expenses but the truth could not be farther. Although installing dehumidifiers initially seem to increase the cost dry room climate helps to reduce maintenance cost proving more economic in the long run. We have many high-performance devices that the power plant can choose from to suit their interest the best. Our dehumidifiers are developed with some of the most advanced technology that makes them highly reliable and trustworthy. Generally we recommend a desiccant dehumidifier to fight off the high humidity in the air in the seashore area. Use of electric heaters and fans in the dehumidification system aids in the process of keeping the air dry and safe. The target internal air circulation is very useful in keeping the inner sides of the outer walls free from unwanted moisture and condensation. We also have data loggers that help to monitor the humidity condition from a faraway place.
Keep your place safe with our planning
Our team of experts has been conducting tests and trials to know the best way of setting up the dehumidification system in the offshore areas. With the proper planning and a roadmap, you can easily wipe away the danger of corrosion and system failure in your plant. Our experts and staff will support you in determining the best solution by calculating all the environmental parameters. We will help you achieve the best environment possible with our expertise.
