Stauff SDB-061-CV-BA Desiccant Breather with Integrated Check Valve – 3/8″ BSP, 5.63″ Diameter, Standard Drying Media

Description

Combination of an air breather and water removal filter, with integrated check valves to increase the lifetime of the desiccant material – particularly suited for gearbox applications. When a reservoir or gearbox breathes, air containing water vapor is ingested into the system. Temperature fluctuations will cause this water vapor to condense, which can speed up the oxidation of the fluid and lead to damage in the system. While inhaling, SDB-CV Desiccant Air Breathers first dry the air as it passes through the drying agent. The air then passes through a 3-micron air filter element to remove any solid contamination particles. Thanks to the spring-loaded check valves with an opening pressure of 0.15psi, the drying agent will be isolated from atmosphere unless inhaling or exhaling, which increases the lifetime of the desiccant air breather as well. As moisture is absorbed, the drying agent will gradually change from red to orange. When it is orange, replace the drying agent. If required, an optional visual indicator (not available for the SDB-061-CV) gives an indication of the status of the air breather. With the moisture absorved, the oxidation process can be decreased and the lifetime of the oil and machinery will be extended.
