What do you need to know about air breathers?
For washdown environments, select breather vents with check valves. These valves allow air to flow in and out, but close when liquids try to enter. For an extended service life, use breather vents with a steel body. They are stronger than breather vents with plastic bodies and hold up better when exposed to chemicals.
How does the top of a desiccant breather work?
As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple 3-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulates, and the silica gel extracts moisture. When air is expelled from the container, the top foam pad prevents oil mist from contacting silica gel or entering the atmosphere.
What is the working principle of a breather valve?
Breather Valve Working Principle. Breather Valve, also known as direct acting Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves, are special types of Relief Valves which are specifically designed for tank protection. The range includes pressure only, vacuum only and combined Pressure/Vacuum Valves, all available with flanged outlets or vented to atmosphere.
Which is the best high humidity check valve breather?
Xclude™ High Humidity Check Valve Breathers are best suited for low-flow gearboxes and high-humidity applications with intermittent operation. They are outfitted with check valves to ensure no excess pressure or vacuum builds. The internal check valve system creates a nearly sealed system.

Can a high flow air cleaner work in the rain?
Carrying a rain sock since. I have the Indian Hi-flow A/C. Been caught in several torrential downpours all day and never a problem. Since Indian doesn’t offer a rain sock, I can only conclude the A/C was engineered to work properly without one. I’m obviously not a mechanic by the question I’m about to ask.
What happens to my air filter in the rain?
The little bit of water you may get into the intake will have no effect on the engine. On the oiled filters like a K and N, once you get back home you may need to go back and recharge the oil in the filter. That is the most you will have to worry about.
