Abstract:
1. A device for dewatering a hydraulic fluid of a hydraulic system, in particular in the aerospace sector, comprising: a container which has a sorbent; a feed which is configured to supply the hydraulic fluid to the container from the hydraulic system in order for the hydraulic fluid to be passed through the sorbent for dewatering the hydraulic fluid; and a return which is configured to return the dewatered hydraulic fluid from the container to the hydraulic system; characterised in that the container is adapted for operation in a regenerating mode for regenerating the sorbent and thus for reproducing the sorption capacity of the sorbent, wherein the container is connected to a compressed air source configured for selectively performing an emptying operation for an emptying of the hydraulic fluid out of the container, the container is connected to a vacuum source, a vent, and a heating means configured for selectively performing a re-drying operation for a removal of the water absorbed in the sorbent, and the vent and the feed are configured for selectively performing a filling operation for filling the container with the hydraulic fluid.
