Operating principle
The pre-filtered dielectric fluid enters the
plant through an inlet strainer, and then
passes through an inlet oil pump and into
Options an oil heater, where it is heated by im-
mersion heaters.

Cart After a first filtration 6 µ absolute
through cartridge filter, the dielectric
fluid is sprayed into a vacuum chamber
on a basket of degazing rings.
Finally, after elimination of the air bub-
bles, the clean treated fluid flows through
the outlet oil pump.

Optional features
The process controls AUTOMATIC DRAINING OF THE VALVE
This option enables an optimal protection of the vacuum net of the plant.
VOLTMETER / AMMETER
This option will enable you to visualize the power supply of the plant, as well as the strength developed in order to protect the net
and equipment.
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control enables to be informed of the plant operation through an internal phone line, a TELECOM phone line, or through
the GSM network.
RECORDER
This option enables to record the physical parameters of the degassing process like temperature and vacuum level.
CONTINUOUS MOISTURE CONTENT MEASURING
This option has been designed to carry out on-line moisture content measurement, that means continuously during the oil treatment.
Then you reduce the errors linked to the sampling method and the risks due to hot oil handling.
REGENERATION
This option enables to regenerate the oil and to decrease its acidity thanks to absorbent and colloidal properties product.

The presentations 1) LOW SPEED TRAILER

The oil treatment can be installed on a low speed trailer with full tyres (max. speed : 20 km/hr).
2) ROAD TRAILER
The oil treatment plant can be installed on a road trailer. The trailer is equipped with rear lights in accordance with the EU regula-
tions of road code. The whole installation is commissioned by the French government vehicle testing service to be allowed to circu-
late in France and in the European countries.
3) TARPAULIN PROTECTION
The plant can be equipped with a protection type tarpaulin, which protects it from bad weather.
The tarpaulin can be opened on the four sides thanks to its panels to enable the access to all the components of the plant.

4) METALLIC COVER PROTECTION
Regeneration The plant can be equipped with a metallic cover type protection, which protects it from bad weather. It is made of aluminium and the
frame is made of iron steel. The side panels open horizontally, close per key and are maintained thanks to gas jacks. The panels en-
able the access to the components of the plant.
