Des-Case vacuum dehydration (VAC) systems are designed to remove 100% of free and emulsified water and at least 90% of dissolved water from petroleum and synthetic-based fluids. And, VAC systems remove 100% of free gases and least 90% of dissolved gases. What makes a Des-Case VAC system most unique is it’s designed for continuous, unattended duty and doesn’t require vacuum tower maintenance or costly coalescing filter element replacements―the tower is completely sealed and uses permanent dispersion media.
By maintaining absolute fluid cleanliness, you can dramatically increase the life of critical electric transmission components, maintain dielectric strength and condition of insulation, minimize downtime and maximize profitability.
Flow Rates:
- 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20gpm are the most common models. Des-Case also offers HiVAC systems for use on transformer oils.
Permanent Dispersion Media:
- Located in the vacuum tower to maximize water extraction rates and eliminate the need for costly replacement of coalescing elements, while enabling the system to operate effectively on high-viscosity gear oils
Rotary Claw Vacuum Pump:
- High-quality specialty pump pulls deeper vacuum and higher CFM, and requires less maintenance than other conventional vacuum pumps
Variable Frequency Drive:
- Enables operator to dial in the optimal flow rate and enhances the system’s overall performance during cold start-ups, on higher viscosity oils, or when a restricted inlet condition exists
Single Utility:
- Requires electric service only—not a chilled water supply
System View Windows
- Enables operator to observe system operation and performance
Filter Change Indicator Light:
- Positive indication when the particulate removal filter element is plugged and needs to be changed
On-Site Training
- All prices include 1-day on-site training, installation, and a leave-behind manual (Continental United States only*)
