HYDAC 1299653 Desiccant Breather - BDE 200 X 2 W 0.0

Features

• The HYDAC Desiccant Breather BDE filter is a breather dryer filter
• In hydraulic and lubrication systems, water ingress into the tank is a familiar problem
• System operators constantly face a high breakdown and maintenance costs that are traceable back to water in the system
• This is because of water, even in its dissolved state, causes accelerated degradation of the additive components by hydrolysis
• Therefore, these reactions cause the oil to lose its desired characteristics and then, it will age more rapidly
• The depletion of the additives also leads to increased oxidation in the base fluid
• What's more, water also has serious and adverse effects on the operating system components, damaging them by corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement
• The distinctive feature of the desiccant breather dryers BDE is that it has two separate chambers
• These chambers are possibly fillable with two desiccants, which in combination increase total water retention (two-stage dewatering)
• As an option, and as a special protection of the desiccant, four valves are built into the bottom of the unit
• So then, during system shutdown, it will avoid saturation of the desiccants
• A check valve is available as an option to prevent exhaust air from the tank/ transmission from flowing back through the desiccant
• This means that there is a protection of the desiccant from oil mist and there is no re-drying of the exiting air
• The built-in pleated air filter element (absolute filtration of particles > 2 µm) provides the filter with a very high contamination retention capacity (26g)
• In order to ensure reliable function, replacement of the entire cartridge is necessary
• When the change of the filter is due, the colour changes from dark red to light orange
