APPLICATIONS:
The Watchdog Desiccant Breathers are a unique particle filtration and
water removal system. They prevent destructive contaminants from
entering industrial equipment as air is breathed in and out due to
thermal expansion or fluid level changes. They feature visual indication
of the silica for replacement, which turns from gold to dark green.
By allowing only clean, dry air into industrial equipment, the Watchdog
Desiccant Breathers prolong fluid life, reduce abrasive wear, downtime,
and repair costs.
FEATURES:
| •
|
Water Vapor
Adsorbent - the silica gel used adsorbs up to 40% of its own
weight. |
| •
|
Color
Indicator - When maximum adsorption is reached the silica gel
turns from gold to dark green, indicating replacement is needed.
The silica gel used is chemically inert, non-corrosive, and does
not contain cobalt chloride, a heavy metal. The color changing
dye used is environmentally safe and meets all health and safety
requirements. |
| •
|
Dual
Filtration System - A two micron filter (99% efficiency) is
located at the top and bottom of the silica gel bed. The top
filter removes particle contamination from atmospheric air and
the bottom helps with dust created by the silica gel beads
contacting each other. |
| •
|
Activated
Carbon - As air is expelled, it passes through activated carbon
which removes oil vapors, fumes, and odors (except for part
numbers 39131, 39132, 39133, and 39134). |
| •
|
Bi-directional
air flow - A 360º air flow allows air to be breathed in and out
as fluid level changes or differential pressures occur. Expelled
air "back flushes" the particulate filter to prolong the life of
the breather. |
| •
|
Durable
construction - Watchdog desiccant breathers are manufactured
from rugged ABS plastic and impact modified acrylic. |
