Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the REGEN8 system designed to protect wind turbine gearboxes from water contamination, high humidity, and corrosion. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining oil quality to ensure the longevity and reliability of gearboxes.
Technical Key Features:
  • Easy installation and compact design.
  • Intelligent control with minimal energy consumption.
  • Maintenance-free and suitable for all weather conditions.
  • Telemetry option available.
  • Supports up to 10,000 liters of oil capacity.
  • Floor mounting option and maximum adsorbent efficiency.
  • Non-condensation operation.
Specifications:
  • Material: Mild steel with passivation and powder coating finish.
  • Connection: Flange, pipe thread, or remote connection.
  • Mounting: Direct floor mounting.
  • IP Rating: 54.
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C.
  • Humidity: 95% RH non-condensing.
  • Desiccant Type: Non-indicating Silica gel.
  • Desiccant Capacity: 15% by weight at 30% RH.
  • Reactivation Control: Fully automatic.
  • Maximum Pressure: 1 psi.
  • Maximum Flow Rate: 20 liters/min.
  • Reactivation Time: Nominal 6 hours.
  • Power Consumption: RGN1 - 230 volts, 5 amps; RGN2 - 100 volts, 10 amps.
Functionality: The REGEN8 system provides a continuous dry air blanket to prevent moisture ingress into the gearbox, maintaining oil quality by reducing water content. This system is particularly effective for large wind turbines (1-3MW range) where traditional desiccant breathers are inadequate.
Dimensions & Power Specifications:
  • RGN1: Dimensions - 255 mm x 518 mm x 230 mm x 235 mm x 576 mm x 218 mm; Max. Oil Volume - 45m³, 40 tons oil, 12,000 gallons; Desiccant Weight - 2 Kg; Supply Voltage - 230V/AC 50Hz; Power - 5 Amp.
  • RGN2: Dimensions - 255 mm x 518 mm x 317 mm x 235 mm x 576 mm x 254 mm; Max. Oil Volume - 90m³, 80 tons oil, 24,000 gallons; Desiccant Weight - 4 Kg; Supply Voltage - 230V/AC 50Hz; Power - 10 Amp.
Conclusion: The REGEN8 system by Brownell Ltd. is a robust solution for protecting wind turbine gearboxes from moisture-related issues, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.

Easy installation Compact design Intelligent control Minimal energy consumption Maintenance free All weather protection Telemetry option Up to 10000 litre oil capacity Floor mounting option Maximum adsorbent efficiency Non condensation operation Maintaining the quality of gearbox oil is vital in maximising the service life of a gearbox and provide reliable and trouble free operation. An important characteristic and property of the gearbox oil is the dissolved and free water content. Minimising the water content of the gearbox oil improves the viscosity, lowers corrosion, reduces pitting and water...

Dimensions & Power Specifications WIND TURBINE Moisture / Water Intrusion Schematic Gearboxes present the biggest challenge to wind turbine reliability due to the extreme stresses imposed by the turbine blades directly connected to the gearbox assembly. These problems are further exacerbated by lubricant degradation caused by moisture, particulate, viscosity issues and acidity. Once liquid water is adsorbed into oil it emulsifies and can never be removed, despite the use of cellulose filter systems. Recognizing that desiccant breathers provide inadequate protection for the large wind turbines...
