This week: Availon GmbH: Increased reliability, fewer service call-outs Slipring box suction system from Availon

Often it is only small details that can cause a generator to fail.

Such a failure generally leads to a shutdown of the turbine, a repair or even a far more costly complete replacement of the generator.

The best example is soiling of the generator compartment by graphite dust from wear of the generator’s carbon brushes. Apart from producing higher temperatures, graphite dust harbors the risk of sparks and flashovers that can cause total generator failure.

With the new upgrade from Availon - the worldwide leading multibrand provider of WTG services – potential risks can be reduced to a minimum.

The slipring box suction system for turbines of type Vestas® V80 VCS®, V90 2.0 MW and V66 specifically extracts the air from the slipring box. The graphite dust is thus moved in the air flow and is efficiently removed from the slipring box. This not only sustainably reduces soiling but potential damage from the formation of sparks and flashovers can also be reduced to a minimum.

Apart from preventing damage to the generator, Availon’s new upgrade also reduces service call-outs for manual cleaning of the slipring box, thus saving on costs.

“As a multibrand service provider we are capable of developing improvements to effectively confront potential risks. Only recently we launched a new development of a specially designed transformer bracket, minimizing the risk of damage to the transformer from vibrations. Our slipring box suction system demonstrates that we are proactive in offering our customers real added value“, explained Olaf Kleesch, Director Global Technical Support & Engineering of Availon.

The slipring box suction system is available immediately as an upgrade. Please contact us for further information by phone on 05971-8025-0, by email on windservice@availon.eu or via our website www.availon.eu.
