Mobile Wind CR240BW
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.
TECHNICAL DATA
RETROFIT INSTALLATION
Designed for defined internal turbine placement as part of a controlled dry-air strategy.
APPLICATION KNOW-HOW
Developed for onshore wind turbines exposed to humidity fluctuation, contamination and standstill-related condensation risk.
ADSORPTION DRYING PRINCIPLE
Rotor-based adsorption dehumidification providing stable moisture removal independent of refrigeration-based cooling.
WIND-ADAPTED DESIGN
Configured specifically for turbine tower environments rather than conventional building drying applications.

On this page we highlight some of the more frequently asked questions from customers.
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.
