Tank Desiccant Breather Selection Guide

The data shown below should be used to assist in the selection of the most suitable Tank Desiccant Breather unit for a particular application.

  1. Select a model which has a flow rate greater than the maximum filling rate or the maximum discharge rate of the pump that empties the tank.
  2. Determine the period of time (usually in months) you wish to allow changes of desiccant in the Tank Desiccant Breather.  Calculate the volume of liquid which will be drawn from the tank during that period.  Select a model that will give you a capacity greater than the calculated volume.
  3. The correct unit to use will be the larger of the models from the results of 1 and 2 above.

The maximum flow rate will give a pressure drop of approximately 3" water gauge (5.61 mm Hg) across the dryer.

The above figures are based on use in a temperate climate.  Please consult our technical staff for guidance on the use of these units in tropical or unusual locations.
