Des-Case HydroGuard® breathers uniquely feature an expansion chamber and internal check valves that create a nearly-sealed system. The cap includes a diaphragm that expands and contracts to accommodate pressure changes, only opening when necessary. This design significantly extends breather life by reducing desiccant exposure to ambient air. Designed specifically for steady-state operations with minimal temperature fluctuations, these breathers provide excellent protection from moisture and particulate contamination in continuous duty applications.
The First Line of Defense Against Contamination
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. As air is drawn into equipment through the breather, the layered desiccant filter elements remove particulate while the desiccant beads strip harmful moisture. While in service or during shut-down, the desiccant beads attract moisture from inside the equipment reservoir, actively drying the equipment.
1. Domed Cap
A domed cap allows for better washdown runoff.
2. Expansion Chamber
The diaphragm allows for expansion/contraction of the air within the casing as a result of temperature variations during steady-state operations.
3. External Ribs
External ribs on shell to create greater durability and grip when installing or replacing breather.
4. Integrated Nylon Standpipe
The integrated standpipe provides excellent vibration resistance and dissipates impact throughout the unit, eliminating weak points. It also allows even airflow distribution throughout the unit, eliminating inaccurate readings of desiccant saturation.
5. Integrated Drip Ring
An integrated drip ring keeps shedding water from entering the vent holes.
6. Threaded Mounting
Easily replaces standard filler/breather cap with multi-fit connection or one of several adapters.
7. Larger, High-Capacity Check Valves
High-capacity check valves allow for increased airflow at low cracking pressure.
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.
9. Enhanced Seal
An enhanced seal eliminates potential for airflow bypass.
