Desiccant breathers: A front line defence in the war on lubricant contamination

摘要

There are two primary types of contamination in cement plant lubricants: Dirt: The atmosphere is dusty, which can compromise lubricant quality and accelerate wear of equipment via abrasion and oxidation; Water: If the atmosphere is humid or has frequent temperature fluctuations the oil can become laden with moisture. The solution: a desiccant breather A desiccant breather is a unique air filter and water vapour removal system. It replaces the standard breather or ventilation system on virtually all types of industrial equipment that contain hydrocarbon and other non-aqueous fluids. It also prevents contamination of products in storage and process tanks.
