Des-Case DC-IL-VG-4 Desiccant Breather

Connected Breathers

Take a proactive approach to water ingression with the market’s first connected and most accurate breather. Unlike any other breather on the market, our connected breathers eliminate the subjectivity of color-changing desiccant media. Our patent pending IsoLogic® Sensor Technology provides a precise measurement of your breather’s life to eliminate replacing a breather too late or too soon.

• Shorten time-consuming, scheduled lube routes by collecting data on multiple breathers at the same time.
• Decrease the risk of workplace injuries by monitoring breathers installed on remote or hard-to-access equipment.
• View all breather statuses and trend data on the web platform from anywhere, anytime. All you need is the internet.

Features

By the Numbers

1. Sensors
Measures critical values to calculate the remaining breather life, temperature and saturation direction.

2. Detachable Module
Calculates the remaining breather life, temperature and saturation direction and stores breather data.

3. Threaded Mounting
Internal threads provide durability and stability and can be used with one of several adapters.

4. Recessed Check-Valves
High-quality umbrella check-valves that won’t clog or stick are recessed underneath the unit for added protection from washdown environments. Check-valves isolate equipment from ambient conditions, prolonging breather life.

5. Filter Element
Polyester filter element removes airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather life.

6. Resilient Polycarbonate Body
Shock-absorbing, clear casing provides reliable service and easy maintenance.

7. Water Adsorbent
Silica gel adsorbs water from incoming air and can hold up to 40% of its weight.

8. Secondary Filter Element
Second polyester filter element protects against migration of desiccant dust, providing maximum efficiency.

9. Foam Pad
Foam filter captures any oil mist and disperses incoming air evenly over filtration and drying areas.
