From the expansion chamber system to the check valves, every element of Des-Case’s patented Hydroguard™ hybrid breather has been designed to stand up to a wide variety of industries and applications. The breather is outfitted with an expansion chamber to isolate lubricants from all levels of ambient humidity. A clear, rugged polycarbonate casing allows for viewing desiccant as it changes colour, indicating that the breather should be replaced. Check valves ensure no excess pressure/vacuum builds.
Benefits
Eliminates rust-forming condensation
Prevents sludge deposits and water-contaminated oil
Provides longer oil and filter life
Reduces wear and tear on equipment, prolongs life

As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple 3-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulate and the colour-indicating silica gel extracts moisture.
The diaphragm allows for expansion/contraction of the air within the casing as a result of temperature variations during steady-state operations.
When air is expelled from the container, the top foam pad prevents oil mist from contacting silica gel or entering the atmosphere. The hydrophilic agent is partially reactivated by the dry air passing back through.
