Desiccant Breathers

A simple yet powerful device, serves as a crucial guardian for oil, hydraulic fluid, and fuel tanks, shielding them from the threats of moisture and particulate contamination.

Crafted from durable plastic or metal housing, these breathers contain essential components like desiccant, filter media, and an oil mist collector—commonly using silica gel, polyester filter media, and polyurethane foam. This element plays a vital role in absorbing moisture and solid particles from the surrounding air, effectively preventing their intrusion into the tank.

Desiccant air breathers are widely used in oil tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, and fuel tanks due to their invaluable benefits:

• Moisture Contamination Prevention: The primary function is to shield your tanks from the damaging effects of moisture. Moisture can lead to corrosion, reduced fluid effectiveness, and even microbial growth. By absorbing moisture from incoming air, it ensures that it never reaches the tank, safeguarding the integrity of your fluids.
• Particulate Contamination Prevention: Dust, debris, and microscopic particles can cause system clogs and abrasion. A 3-micron absolute particulate filtration media, acts as a barrier, preventing these unwanted particles from entering the tank.
• Increased Tank Life: By diligently preventing moisture and particulate contamination, desiccant breathers significantly extend the life of your tanks and the fluids they contain. This translates to fewer maintenance costs and greater operational reliability.

Royac offers two types of Desiccant Breathers:

1. TTI Power Breather Single-Use: Practical and disposable, these units are designed for convenience. They can be effortlessly replaced when the desiccant element reaches its moisture-saturation point. Ideal for applications where ease of maintenance is a priority.
2. TTI Rebuildable Stainless Steel Power Breather: For those seeking a more eco-friendly and cost-effective option, reusable breathers are the answer. These tank breathers come equipped with a replaceable desiccant element, filter media, and oil mist collector, ensuring sustainability and cost-efficiency over the long term.
