APPLICATIONS:
In certain extreme operating environments such as a paper mill or a
steam cleaning rooms, the humidity level far exceeds normal industrial
environments. In these situations, lubricants and other fluids stored in
tanks and reservoirs need the protection of a desiccant breather even
more. However, small temperature variations draw in the humid air and
unnecessarily reduce the life of the breather. The Watchdog® Extreme
Humidity Breathers incorporate two check valves, one to control airflow
into the protected reservoir and one to control airflow out. This
prolongs the life of the desiccant by allowing the air to flow through
the breather only when needed to protect the integrity of the tank.
Unlike a membrane system, which does not allow internally generated
gases and contaminants to exit the system, the Watchdog Extreme Humidity
Breather offers all of the advantages of breathing air in and out of the
tank while removing water vapor and solid particles before they
contaminate the fluid.
FEATURES:
|
• |
Water Vapor
Adsorbent - longer lasting desiccant formulated specifically for
maximum efficiency at humidity levels of 80% and higher. |
|
• |
Color
Indicating - 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. |
|
• |
Durable
Construction - Watchdog Breathers are manufactured from rugged
ABS plastic and impact modified acrylic. |
|
• |
Easy
Connection - Models are available with 1" slip fit connection
which mates with the standard Watchdog Breather adapters or with
a 2" male NPT
connection. |
