Please Note: This is intended as a general guideline for sizing only; other considerations, such as: humidity level, frequency of air flow, ambient temperatures, and chemical compatibility are very important in sizing a breather properly. Larger applications and special circumstances typically require the most thorough analysis. Please contact Des-Case for assistance in sizing a breather.

Features
By the Numbers
1. Sensors
Measures critical values to calculate the remaining breather life, temperature and saturation direction.
2. Detachable Module
Calculates the remaining breather life, temperature and saturation direction and stores breather data.
3. Threaded Mounting
Internal threads provide durability and stability and can be used with one of several adapters.
4. Recessed Check-Valves
High-quality umbrella check-valves that won’t clog or stick are recessed underneath the unit for added protection from washdown environments. Check-valves isolate equipment from ambient conditions, prolonging breather life.
5. 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.
6. Resilient Polycarbonate Body
Shock-absorbing, clear casing provides reliable service and easy maintenance.
7. Water Adsorbent
Silica gel adsorbs water from incoming air and can hold up to 40% of its weight.
8. Secondary Filter Element
Second polyester filter element protects against migration of desiccant dust, providing maximum efficiency.
9. Foam Pad
Foam filter captures any oil mist and disperses incoming air evenly over filtration and drying areas.

- Gearboxes
- Low-Flow Applications
- High-Humidity
- Washdown
