Des-Case DC-CHC-EX-4 COLORASSIST High-Capacity Dessicant Breather, 1 in. FNPT

Des-Case is a high-capacity extended series breather has COLORASSIST™ technology, a proprietary color indication , for high airflow breathers with check-valve technology and a honeycomb oil mist reducer. High-capacity desiccant provides 30% more service life than color indicating silica gels. The Colorassist™ technology indicator is an enhanced color indicator that accurately gauges the remaining life of the breather, diagnoses the source of moisture contamination and improves in-use visibility.

Features

• Six high-quality umbrella check valves that won't clog or stick are located underneath the unit for added protection from washdown environments.
• The check-valves isolate equipment from ambient conditions prolonging breather life and protecting system integrity.
• Integrated nylon standpipe with threaded mounting and provides excellent vibration resistance and dissipates impact throughout the unit, eliminating weak points.
• By allowing even airflow distribution throughout the unit, preventing inaccurate readings of desiccant saturation.
• Internal threads provide durability and stability and can be used with one of several adapters.
• Honeycomb technology oil mist reducer is situated inside the standpipe, made from polypropylene for maximum chemical compatibility. The honeycomb design, this feature allows oil mist to coalesce and drain back into the reservoir, rather than compromising the desiccant.
• Polyester filter elements remove airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather life.
