Hydac
BD Series Drymicron Breathers

Key Features

Drymicron Breathers protect expensive equipment, increase operation efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs by:

  • Eliminating corrosion
  • Extending life of hydraulic, lubrication, and process fluids
  • Minimizing component wear, downtime, and repairs
  • Eliminating oil oxidation, additive depletion, and freezing
  • Extending oil filter life
Applications

  • Hydraulic Reservoirs
  • Gear Boxes
  • Storage Tanks

Drymicron breathers use a three-stage filtration design to ensure optimum protection by removing water vapor and solid contaminant before they enter the fluid system.

Drymicron Breathers replace the standard breather cap or vent tube on a tank or reservoir. They are easy to install using one of several adapters designed for different applications.

When the fluid in the system is lowered, or pressure changes occur, air is drawn in through openings under the breather cap. First, air passes through a fine, 2 micron solid particle filter. The air then passes through a diffuser to ensure maximum effectiveness within the silica gel chamber.

Next, water vapor is removed as the air travels through a bed of silica gel — the highest capacity adsorbent available. After being dried, the air passes through a second 2 micron solid particle filter and enters the reservoir clean and dry!
