Method and system for flushing a gear oil cooling circuit in a wind turbine

The cooling circuit (A) for the oil of a gear box (1) in a wind turbine is modified by a flushing circuit (B), which adds air to the oil and raises the pressure in the cooling circuit (A) in order to compress the air prior to a forceful release of the pressure through a pressure release valve (11),...

Zusammenfassung:The cooling circuit (A) for the oil of a gear box (1) in a wind turbine is modified by a flushing circuit (B), which adds air to the oil and raises the pressure in the cooling circuit (A) in order to compress the air prior to a forceful release of the pressure through a pressure release valve (11), which creates turbulence in the cooling circuit (A). The turbulent flow results in cleaning of the inner walls of the cooling circuit (A).
