These rechargeable units also minimise pressure differential build up and odour emissions. The design of the dryer incorporates excellent weather protection, making it suitable for external applications. Using a vent dryer can assist in flame suppression by reducing the build up of ignitable vapours.

An active desiccant bed retains any moisture before it can enter the vessel. Field trials have proven that most existing moisture vapour contained within a vessel is quickly removed when these vent dryers are fitted. Vent dryers will maintain the moisture concentration to acceptable levels.

A colour change indicator within the desiccant is fully visible. This tells users when to change the beaded silica gel. Re-charging is quick and easy to undertake, simply by removing an access port plug, empty-out and pour in the new material.  This ensures full protection at all times.

Moisture can seriously effect many of a fluid’s active properties.  Opening an unprotected vessel immediately admits humidity and water vapour into the airspace this in turn contaminates the fluid. Moisture laden air will enter the vessel by the following means, product displacement, ambient temperature change and variation in barometric pressure.
