Product Details
Designed and developed by filtration engineers, the Des-Case hygroscopic breather is a unique, patented air filter and water vapor removal system. It will virtually eliminate moisture and particulate contamination in industrial equipment reservoirs such as hydraulic tanks and gear boxes.
Des-Case hygroscopic breather elements are state-of-the-art in design and function, and are industry’s best choice for assuring maximum machine performance. Des-Case offers these cost-saving benefits:
- Elimination of water-contaminated oil which leads to additive stripping
- Elimination of rust-forming condensation
- Elimination of sludge deposits
- Less abrasive particles to prolong machine operating life
- Longer oil and oil filter life
Moisture and particulate accumulation are major factors of oil contamination in industrial equipment. Neglected, these detriments restrict equipment efficiency, causing machine downtime and significant expense in replacement oil, parts and repair labor.
Des-Case breathers incorporate a proven, field-tested design. They prevent water and contaminants from entering fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling or emptying process.
Des-Case breathers utilize the entire area of the patented polyester filter media to remove solid particulate material as small as 3-microns. Accompanying water vapor is then removed by the desiccant agent. A final filter ensures that only clean dry air enters the system.
Every Des-Case desiccant breather is manufactured in a durable, shock-absorbing clear plastic casing with resilient qualities to withstand the customary abuse associated with heavy manufacturing equipment. The units are disposable, and are manufactured entirely of environmentally safe components.
Des-Case standard disposable breathers retain particulate as small as 0.5-micron (73.5% efficiency) or 3-micron absolute, are rated for 16 cfm and feature a 1? threaded standpipe.
