Mobile Wind CR100
CR100
Wall-mounted adsorption dehumidifier for onshore wind turbines
The CR100 is part of the Cotes Mobile Wind product family — adsorption dehumidifiers developed specifically for retrofit installation in onshore wind turbines.
Unlike floor-standing Mobile units, the CR100 is designed for wall-mounted installation, typically using a fixed or magnetic wall bracket inside the WTG tower.
The unit provides controlled dry-air supply to reduce condensation risk and protect electrical cabinets, control systems and internal turbine components.
Explanation of Naming
The product designation follows Cotes naming logic:
- C – Cotes adsorption platform
- R – Rotor-based adsorption technology
- 100 – Capacity class within the Mobile Wind range
The CR100 is positioned directly within the wind-adapted range and does not inherit the “B” (Building) designation.
Position within the Cotes Mobile Wind family
The CR100 represents a fixed-mounted retrofit solution within the Mobile Wind range.
Cotes Mobile Wind units are developed for turbines that were not originally designed with integrated dehumidification. The family includes both:
- Portable floor-standing units (e.g. CR80B-FC / FCS)
- Wall-mounted turbine units (e.g. CR100 and larger BW models)
The CR100 is typically selected where:
- Defined wall placement is preferred over floor installation
- Stable, dedicated positioning inside the tower is required
- A compact vertical format suits the internal turbine layout
Unlike offshore overpressure systems (CWO family), Mobile Wind units are retrofit solutions intended for flexible integration without major structural modification.
TECHNICAL DATA
RETROFIT INSTALLATION
Designed for wall-mounted installation inside wind turbine towers. Often installed using a magnetic or fixed bracket, allowing defined positioning without structural modification.
APPLICATION KNOW-HOW
Developed for turbines where humidity control was not originally integrated, supporting targeted protection of electrical cabinets and stabilisation of tower humidity during operation and standstill.
ADSORPTION DRYING PRINCIPLE
Rotor-based adsorption dehumidification providing reliable moisture removal across varying temperature conditions, including low-temperature and reduced-ventilation scenarios.
WIND-ADAPTED DESIGN
Engineered specifically for turbine environments, with a compact vertical format suited for wall mounting rather than floor placement.

On this page we highlight some of the more frequently asked questions from customers.
The CR100 is designed for wall mounting, typically using a magnetic or fixed bracket. It is not intended for floor placement.
The CR100 is wall-mounted and not floor-standing. It provides higher dry-air capacity (100 m³/h vs. 80 m³/h) and is designed as a more fixed internal installation rather than a repositionable unit.
The CR100 is primarily positioned for onshore retrofit applications. Offshore installations typically require engineered overpressure systems such as the Cotes Wind Overpressure (CWO) family.
During standstill, reduced airflow increases condensation risk. Moisture combined with contaminants can accelerate corrosion and reduce electrical insulation resistance during restart.
