The Pulsarlube AIR® desiccant filter is a highly efficient, proactive maintenance countermeasure. It’s one of your must-haves, not only to keep the entire fluid system clean and sound, but also to prevent fluid contamination and extend its service life.
When the pressure or fluid level in the fluid reservoirs changes, the reservoir vents fail to prevent the influx of airborne contaminants such as dirt, moisture, and oxygen from the environment.
These unwanted airborne contaminants also cause and accelerate oil oxidation, high humidity, condensation and free water accumulation, the formation of emulsified oil, sludge, and acid, as well as corrosion in fluid reservoirs. This, in turn, leads to frequent oil and filter changes, higher operating costs, downtime, and a shortened equipment lifespan, thus increasing the maintenance budget accordingly.
The use of various dry filters with desiccant is widespread in all hydraulic and lubrication systems with fluid reservoirs. They prevent potential fluid contamination by either absorbing moisture or filtering out these airborne contaminants. The efficiency of desiccant-filled air filters and competitive costs over the entire operating period would be a decisive factor in the decision.
