Air Sentry® Desiccant Breathers replace existing breather/filler caps or air vents on fluid holding tanks, reservoirs and gearboxes. Older style breathers provide minimal, if any, protection from moisture or particulate ingression. Utilizing color indicating silica gel and a self-cleaning 2-micron filter, Air Sentry® breathers provide the first line of defense in contamination control and increased equipment reliability.
Benefits:
- Eliminate Moisture which can lead to decreased oil life and oxidation
- Effectively eliminates condensation from reservoirs and gearboxes
- Eliminates particulate ingression thereby increasing equipment life
- Increased oil and filter life
Typical Industries:
- Pulp & Paper
- Food & Beverage
- Steel Production/Manufacturing
- Automotive
- Power Generation
- Mining/Construction
- Petroleum/Chemical Refining
- General Manufacturing
How They Work:As contaminated air is drawn through the breather, multiple 2-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulate and the color-indicating silica gel extracts moisture. When air is expelled from the reservoir, the activated carbon foam pad prevents oil vapor from contacting silica gel.
