Providing Quality Oil Care to Industry
Des-Case HydroGuard® breathers uniquely feature an expansion chamber and internal check valves that create a nearly-sealed system. Designed specifically for steady-state operations with minimal temperature fluctuations, these breathers provide excellent protection in continuous duty applications.
A domed cap allows for better washdown runoff
The diaphragm allows for expansion/contraction of the air within the casing as a result of temperature variations during steady-state operations
External ribs on shell to create greater durability and grip when installing or replacing breather
The integrated standpipe provides excellent vibration resistance and dissipates impact throughout the unit, eliminating weak points. It also allows even airflow distribution throughout the unit, eliminating inaccurate readings of desiccant saturation
An integrated drip ring keeps shedding water from entering the vent holes
Easily replaces standard filler/breather cap with multi-fit connection or one of several adapters
High-capacity check valves allow for increased airflow at low cracking pressure
8 Polyester filter element removes airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather life
An enhanced seal eliminates potential for airflow bypass

Please Note: This is intended as a general guideline for sizing only; other considerations, such as: humidity level, frequency of air flow, ambient temperatures, and chemical compatibility are very important in sizing a breather properly. Larger applications and special circumstances typically require the most thorough analysis. Please contact Des-Case for assistance in sizing a breather.
