What is desiccant breathers?

What is a Desiccant Breather? The desiccant breather replaces the standard dust cap or OEM breather cap on equipment, offering better filtration to protect against even the smallest particulates that destroy the effectiveness of your machinery, and cause downtime and costly repairs.

When should I replace my desiccant breather?

The visual indicator windows show the desiccant as it changes color, indicating that the breather should be replaced. As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple filter elements remove solid particulates while the silica gel extracts moisture.

How air breather works?

When the vehicle is moving, airflow across the open end of the tube creates suction (a “draught” or draft) that pulls gases out of the crankcase. To prevent a vacuum being created, the blow-by gases are replaced by fresh air using a device called a breather.

What does Des case do?

Des-Case products extend the life of industrial lubricants by preventing contamination with desiccant breathers, removing contaminants with filtration systems, and detecting lubricant problems with visual oil analysis.

How are desiccant breathers used in the real world?

Desiccant breathers filter out moisture and debris, greatly reducing contamination and prolonging the life of machines and equipment. There are many real-world examples of how installing desiccant breathers have saved companies money by shortening the frequency of downtime and keeping equipment contamination free. Let’s look at a few.

Which is the best desiccant breather for lubricants?

Des-Case Standard breathers provide simple, yet dependable protection from moisture and particulate contamination in lubricants and equipment across multiple industries and applications. These versatile breathers are five times more effective than the leading non-desiccant breathers, providing optimal defense against humidity for your applications.

Which is the best desiccant breather for tank farms?

Desiccant breathers with internal check-valves that protect low-flow applications with intermittent operations. High airflow, high-absorbent desiccant breathers with check-valve technology ideal for tank farms and large applications. The market’s first connected breather and also the most accurate.

How does the foam filter on a desiccant breather work?

Foam filter captures any oil mist and disperses incoming air evenly over filtration and drying areas. 8. Filter Element Polyester filter element removes airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather life.
