Dehydrating Breathers

Dehydrating breathers are used to prevent the normal moisture in the air from coming in contact with the oil in electrical equipment as the load or temperature changes. This reduces the degeneration of the oil and helps maintain its insulation capability. When used with conservator system with a rubber air cell it reduces moisture accumulation in the cell. Some breathers are designed for sealed tank transformers and breath only at preset pressure levels.

The dehydrating breathers are filled with Silicage1 that can absorb 20% of its own weight in moisture. The breathers are also provided with an oil trap preventing continuous contact between the moist air and the Silicage1, allowing longer life of the Silicage1 and lower maintenance.
