CR240BW

Wind-adapted adsorption dehumidifier for onshore wind turbines 

The CR240BW is part of the Cotes Mobile Wind product family — adsorption dehumidifiers developed specifically for retrofit installation in onshore wind turbines.

The unit is designed for internal tower installation where increased dry-air capacity is required to stabilise humidity levels and reduce condensation risk.

Explanation of Naming

The product designation follows Cotes naming logic:

  • C – Cotes adsorption platform
  • R – Rotor-based adsorption technology
  • 240 – Capacity class
  • B – Building heritage (from the original Mobile range)
  • W – Wind application

The “BW” designation identifies the unit as a wind-adapted model within the Mobile Wind family.

Position within the Cotes Mobile Wind family

The CR240BW represents a mid-capacity unit within the Mobile Wind range.

The Mobile Wind family includes:

  • Compact retrofit units (CR80B-FC / FCS)
  • Wall-mounted compact units (CR100)
  • Mid-capacity wind-adapted units (CR240BW)
  • High-capacity units for larger tower volumes (CR400BW)

The CR240BW is typically selected where:

  • Tower-wide humidity control is required
  • Moisture load exceeds compact unit capacity
  • A balance between airflow and installation size is needed

It remains a retrofit solution and does not use the offshore overpressure principle applied in the Cotes Wind Overpressure (CWO) family.

What is the CR240BW used for in wind turbines?
open close

 The CR240BW is used to stabilise internal tower humidity in turbines where compact units are insufficient but full high-capacity systems are not required. 

 The CR240BW provides significantly higher dry-air capacity and is typically selected for larger tower volumes or higher moisture loads. 

The CR240BW represents a mid-capacity solution within the range, positioned between compact and high-capacity models.

 The CR240BW is positioned for onshore retrofit applications. Offshore installations typically require engineered overpressure systems such as the Cotes Wind Overpressure (CWO) family.
