In March and April this year, a team of GlobeCore specialists came to Malaysia for commissioning of seven CMM-4/7 units.

The commissioning, which became a logical continuation of cooperation with the electric power industry of Malaysia, was performed successfully in several cities. It is noteworthy that GlobeCore commissioned the previously supplied units in this country in January.

The CMM-4/7 units are versatile multi functional equipment type which perform several functions important during transformer maintenance, servicing and repairs, such as removal of solid particles, heating of oil before filling the transformer, vacuum drying the transformer and transformer evacuation, as well as heating of electrical equipment with hot oil.

The parameters of oil processed by the СММ-4/7 are as follows:

• gas content: below 0.1% volume;
• moisture content: below 10 ppm;
• solid particles: below 8 g/t;
• dielectric strength: at least 60 kV.

In addition, the unit recently commissioned in Malaysia are equipped with the TSS (Transformer Safety System), which makes it possible to connect them to directly to the transformer.

On 12-13 March, GlobeCore head office in Oldenburg hosted guests again.

This time, the Oldenburg office hosted a two-day seminar dedicated to industrial oil treatment, power transformer and wind turbine servicing and maintenance. The event was attended by 14 companies from 6 nations (Germany, USA, UK, Italy, UAE and Nigeria).

The main part of the seminar included three presentations by GlobeCore, Maschinenfabrick Reinhausen GmbH and Seifert Transformatorentechnik. It was  followed by a “round table” discussion of the new information and other pressing issues of the electrical power industry. Alternative energy companies also participated in the event.

We presented the following equipment:

• industrial oil purification and regeneration units;
• power transformer maintenance units;
• wind turbine gearbox oil change units.

It is safe to say that the questions raised at the seminar kindled much interests, which will certainly transform into fruitful cooperation in the future.

The second issue from February 2018 of the leading magazine in wind energy “Wind Systems” Magazine, published a Frank May article, entitled “Changing Turbine Gearbox Oil”.

The articles discusses the main points to pay attention to when servicing the gearboxes of wind turbines and, in particular, the oil change. It shows the advantages of the CMM-G gear oil changer from GlobeCore, solving the described task.

We invite you to read the full article.

January this year, the  engineering team of GlobeCore came to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), to present and commission equipment.

This time, the CMM-4/7 unit was put into operation, designed for degassing, drying, cleaning from impurities and heating transformer oils used in power transformers. This equipment is multifunctional, as it can also perform heating of oil-filled equipment with hot transformer oil, vacuum drying and vacuum treatment.

After treatment, transformer oil has the following parameters:

• breakdown voltage – not less than 60 kV;
• content of mechanical impurities – no more than 8 g / t;
• moisture content by weight – no more than 10 ppm;
• volumetric gas content – not more than 0.1%;
• ISO 4406 class of industrial purity – – / 14/12.

A distinctive feature of this commissioning was connection of the oil station to an energised transformer with a TSS security system.

At presentation, our employees brought the representatives of the electricity sector in Malaysia up to date with the capabilities of the GlobeCore equipment, and demonstrated the features of oil regeneration using the laboratory version of the UVR oil station.

A CMM-10TS unit, designed for dehydration of high viscosity industrial oil, was commissioned in a suburb of Chicago, USA on 19 – 23 December 2017.

Occasionally, practical problems lie outside the scope of capabilities of stock units. In such cases, GlobeCore accepts and fulfils custom orders; this time it was the CMM-10TS dehydration unit.

In the course of commissioning, the unit extracted approximately 16 liters of water from 1 cubic meter of oil. Expressed in ppm, this means that the unit is capable of processing oil with 16000 ppm water content.
