Silica gel Absorbers / Silica Gel Breathers

FLUIDYNE Silica Gel Breathers or Desiccants' clean and dry the incoming air. Expelled air partially regenerates the silica gel and back flushes the breather extending the life of the breather. FLUIDYNE Breathers are rugged in construction made of impact resistant Plexiglas, Die Cast Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Plastics and Carbon steel. Silica gel is inert, non toxic and non corrosive and contains microscopic pores that absorb moisture up to 40% to 45 % of its weight (Silica gel as hydrophilic agent.). When silica gel gathers maximum moisture it changes color when it is time to replace or regenerate the silica gel. Industry spends millions annually treating the negative effects of contamination caused by wet, dirty air. This causes contamination of tank contents, lubricants and hydraulic fluids resulting in loss, excess machine wear, production downtime, repair costs, etc. FLUIDYNR Breathers are the perfect solution for high humidity and high dust environments. To extend the desiccant's life a special design incorporates two check valves or inlet oil seal arrangement. The check valves provide a closed system until airflow is required, extending the service life of the desiccant. Specifically, the intake check valve allows airflow into the breather only when differential pressure between the atmosphere and fluid reservoir exceeds a 0.1 psi threshold, while the exhaust check valve permits air to exit the reservoir when the differential pressure exceeds a 2.0 psi threshold. A 0.1 psi check valve is also available for exhaust.
