Hygroscopic breathers
Des-Case Hygroscopic line of air filter and water
vapor removal breathers replace standard breather caps on hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes,
and process tanks. They prevent dirt and water
contamination and extend service life of oils, filters, hydraulic fluids, and system components. Self-contained units use a desiccant to extract
water vapor from air and micro-fiberglass pleated
filters to remove particles down to 1 m.
