Abstract: Equipment provides more rapid drying of heating parts comprising hygroscopic, electric insulation made of cellulose and/or plastics. At least two condensers are present, one being used when heating the parts and the other in the distillation stage. As a result removal by distillation is possible any time during heating and during the time intervals when heating is interrupted and the pressure-dropping procedure is carried out in the vacuum vessel. Due to the second condenser (with a second, associated vacuum pump), the heating medium can be cleansed or distilled during the pressure-dropping procedure and simultaneously the suction or drying procedure can be carried out in the vacuum vessel. This feature leads to drying the electrical parts more rapidly than heretofore because the steps of drying the electrical parts and regenerating the heating medium no longer require being consecutive, but instead regeneration can be implemented simultaneously with the evacuation of the vicinity around the electrical parts.
