The AEHV strips water, dissolved gases and particles from insulating oil in a single high-vacuum pass, with nine models from 200 to 12 000 litres per hour and unattended operation, even on energized equipment.
Advantages
One pass instead of several
Accelerator cartridges in the vacuum chamber coalesce free water, expose a thin oil film to the vacuum over millions of 3-10 µm glass fibres and release gases quickly — where spray-and-baffle designs needed several passes.
Measured performance
From 27 °C of oil temperature, water falls from 50 ppm to below 5 ppm and dissolved air from about 12 % of saturation to below 0.25 %, with a standard 0.5 µm after-filter.
A size for every job
Nine models cover 200 to 12 000 l/h, with suggested oil treatment masses from 850 to 60 000 kg and Roots booster options up to 4 500 m³/h of vacuum capacity.
Designed to work alone
The series is designed for unattended operation and is suitable for work on energized equipment; complete monitoring equipment is available.
Beyond water and gas
Optional Fullers Earth filters remove oil oxidation products, thermal degradation products, dissolved varnishes, paints and acids.
Applications
- Degasification of transformer oil in extra-high-voltage transmission.
- Manufacture of electrical apparatus.
- Cable oils, including polybutenes.
- Oils for radar and electronic equipment, vacuum-pump sealing oils, brake fluids and refrigeration oils, including phosphate esters and silicones.
About the product
Each AEHV is built to order — skid, cargo-trailer, container or semi-trailer mounting up to 16 m — and accepts options such as extra heater capacity, an outlet heater, a diesel or gas boiler, an on-board generator, a Fullers Earth system (E575A series), an inline dielectric tester or RGA, a touchscreen MMI, remote monitoring with wireless emergency dial-out, TOLMS oil-level monitoring, explosion-proof EEx or NEMA 7 execution and a full stainless steel option.

Frequently asked questions
How is the right model chosen?
By oil volume and required throughput: the nine models cover 200 to 12 000 l/h, with suggested oil treatment masses from 850 to 60 000 kg.
Does it work on an energized transformer?
Yes. The series is designed for unattended operation and is suitable for work on energized equipment, with complete monitoring available.
What do the accelerator cartridges do?
They coalesce free water before evaporation, expose the oil film to the vacuum, speed up gas release and act as a fine filter; they are disposable and easy to replace.
Can it remove acids and varnishes as well?
Yes, with the optional Fullers Earth filters, which remove oxidation products, thermal degradation products, dissolved varnishes, paints and acids.
How is it transported?
To suit the site: skid, cargo trailer, open-side container or aluminium semi-trailer up to 16 m, among other configurations.
