XR-Series Air Breathers
Extreme Environment Applications
Air Sentry® XR-Series breathers are designed for extreme environment
applications where protection from dust, moisture and vibration are
critical.
XR-Series breathers include metal bottom caps available with either 1
inch BSPT or 1 inch or 2 inch male NPT threads to adapt to your
equipment. The bottom cap is designed to handle the rigors of high
vibration applications. The top cap uses two check valves to prevent
outside moisture and solid contaminants from entering the breather until
there is a need for airflow.
The XR-Series re-buildable design allows for economical replacement of the desiccant cartridge.
Typical applications include:
- Windmills
- Miningequipment
- Farming implements
Case Study
A manufacturing company in the Midwestern United States had an
application where a fluid storage tank required 58 cfm (equivalent to
435 gpm) air flow capacity. They were also concerned how often they
would have to climb up and change the breather due to its location on
top of the tall tank.
The solution was to provide two 35 cfm rated X-Series breathers
doubling their capacity to 70 cfm. By combining these breathers and
enlarging their mounting adapter we were able to exceed the flow rate
requirements. Additionally, the check valve features of the X-Series
design solved their additional concerns on how frequently they would
have to climb up the tank and change the breather. The check valve
feature extends the life of the breather by keeping air out until the
tank breathes.
