Kaydon Filtration
Kaydon Filtration's patented TURBO-TOC coalesc- ing technology keeps turbine rotating compo- nents protected by providing quick and efficient water removal from turbine oil. Their TURBO-TOC technology was developed to remove water to less than 150ppm in a single pass at process rates exceeding 100GPM (380LPM). Turbo-TOC KL and portable KLP systems for single pass high flow water removal can significantly decrease bearing failures and extend turbine oil life for the life of the turbine. Available flow rates: 3, 5, 20, 30, 50, 60, and 100GPM. www.kaydonfiltration.com
National Filters, Inc.
Utilizing high quality components, National Filters Inc. single and dual stage filters are designed for wind turbine use. Elements meet the ISO cleanli- ness levels wind systems require, at a fraction of the cost of the OEM. www.nationalfiltersinc.com
Solidification Products International, Inc.
SPI has a variety of wind products such as their Petro-Pipe System and Petro Barrier System. Each has been designed to allow rain water to drain, while completely filtering out all vegetable oils or fuel sheen to non-detectable levels. In the event of a major spill, the Petro-Pipe/Petro Barrier Systems will totally shut down and prevent all flow from discharging. It will then back the spill into the containment area preventing an environ- mental release. SPI products are currently being used at wind farm locations and solar installa- tions around the world.

Svendborg Brakes
Svendborg Brakes has created a cooling system for wind turbines, delivering a compact, simple to operate, cost effective, and reliable system. Specifically designed for cooling the generator and converter, Svendborg Brakes’ system uses materials that are lightweight and offer corrosion resistance. The system meets criteria set out by turbine manufacturers for global on and offshore applications. The pump unit has a simple operat- ing principle and maintenance is easy to perform. The water/glycol cooling system is controlled by a mechanical thermostatic mixing valve which allows it to run constantly without the need for complex sensors and control circuits. A heating system helps avoid condensation forming in the components and operates across temperatures ranging from -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C). Every system is tested for leaks, pressure settings, flow rates, and general operation. Svendborg Brakes’ technical support can provide advice on specifica- tions and installation. www.svendborg-brakes.com
