While they are already standards components being utilized for decades they are still subj ect to continuous improvements . Especially the requirements originating from changes of the demands , for example , originating from changes like the amount of renewable energy being introduced into such power grid and the change in electrical power demands in society results in additional burdens to be addres sed . Exemplarily, it i s referred to the increa sed power consumption of the society and the industry and the increased dependency from it . Only expected to increase , for example , based on the changes of heating systems like heat exchangers introduced as heating source for the common part of the society at home . Resulting in significant problems in case a power grid during high load operation goes down in winter leaving thousands of households without heating .

[0005] An e s sential part of high power transformers as utilized in power grids i s an isolator required to ensure a secure and efficient operation . Herein , such as oil needs to fulf ill a significance number of requirements to operate at very high temperatures , provide cooling , provide insulation , to ensure long-term utilization of such oil it is required to reclaim such oil and remove contaminations a s well as moisture to maintain the propertie s of said transformer oil . However , available methods of reclaiming the trans former oil still provide the opportunity to be further improved. For example, existing methods suffer from problems like the possibility to swiftly adapt to the corresponding demands as well as providing highly reliable transformer oil reclaiming securing highest quality transformer oil being able to be utilized over very long time periods .
