Abstract

An anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ), such that the anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) includes at least first and second chambers ( 2, 3 ). At least one perforated wall ( 5, 15 ) separates at least one of the first and the second chambers ( 2, 3 ) from the surroundings ( 10 ). The anti-corrosion agent container can be used in a wind turbine transmission to prevent corrosion.

First claim

1 - 14 . (canceled)

15 . An anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) for preventing corrosion of a corrodible component,
wherein the anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) comprises first and second chambers ( 2 , 3 ), and at least one perforated wall ( 5 , 15 ) separates at least one of the first and the second chambers ( 2 , 3 ) from surroundings ( 10 ) of the container.

16 . The anti-corrosion agent container according to claim 15 , wherein a first agent ( 8 ) is located within the first chamber ( 2 ), and the first agent releases gases ( 9 ) for corrosion protection.

17 . The anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) according to claim 16 , wherein a second agent ( 14 ) is located within the second chamber ( 3 ), and the second agent absorbs moisture.

18 . The anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) according to claim 15 , wherein the anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) is made of a non-corrosive material.

19 . The anti-corrosion agent container according to claim 15 , wherein the first and the second chambers ( 2 , 3 ) have at least one of rounded corners and rounded edges.

20 . The anti-corrosion agent container according to claim 15 , wherein the anti-corrosion agent container is used in a wind turbine transmission.

21 . The anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) according to claim 15 in combination with a cover ( 26 ) for a transmission ( 22 ), wherein the anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) is connected to the cover ( 26 ).

22 . The anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) in combination with the cover ( 26 ) for the transmission ( 22 ) according to claim 21 , wherein the cover is detachably connected to a transmission housing ( 25 ) of the transmission.

23 . At least one anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) in combination with a transmission ( 22 ),
wherein the at least one anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) comprises first and second chambers ( 2 , 3 ), and at least one perforated wall ( 5 , 15 ) separates at least one of the first and the second chambers ( 2 , 3 ) from surroundings ( 10 ) of the container.

24 . The at least one anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) in combination with the transmission ( 22 ) according to claim 23 , wherein the transmission ( 22 ) has an inside space and the at least one anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) is arranged in the inside space.

25 . The at least one anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) in combination with the transmission ( 22 ) according to claim 24 , wherein the transmission ( 22 ) has at least one cover ( 26 ) which closes off the inside space.

26 . The at least one anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) in combination with the transmission ( 22 ) according to claim 23 , wherein the transmission has a cover ( 26 ) and the anti-corrosion agent container ( 1 ) is connected to the cover.

27 . A method of preventing corrosion of components in a transmission, the method comprising:
accommodating a first agent, which releases corrosion-protecting gases, and a second agent, which absorbs moisture, in an inside space of the component.

28 . The method according to claim 27 , further comprising blowing the corrosion-protecting gases into the transmission.
