"SILICA GEL BREATHER APPLICATION"
“
Fuel Storage Tank”
Fuel storage tanks located indoors, outdoors and underground are subject to accumulations of
moisture and dust though vent caps. The cleaner the fuel, the more reliably it will perform
when used.
Tanks store fuel for vehicles and equipment used at
“construction sites”,
“shipyards”,
” sawmills”,
“petrochemical plants”,
” rail yard”,
“mines”,”
quarries”,
“manufacturing plants”, etc.
Outdoor storage locations are subject to the extremes of the environment.
Local environmental regulations often mandate use of biodegradable fuels in order to protect ground water, should a leak occur in the underground storage tanks.
Air flow requirements for all fuel storage tanks are complicated heavy vapors that are released by the fuels. These heavy vapors can overwhelm desiccant breathers in a short period of time. A bypass or shut off valve should be installed between the tank vent and the breather to allow the heavy vapors to escape to atmosphere, instead of through the breather.
“Bulk Material handling”
Bulk material handling terminals load, unload and store material such as coal, aggregate and ore. The conveyor systems are used to move various materials. Each system is equipped with large drives, gearboxes and bearings that have oil and lubrication reservoirs. Silica gel breathers provide protection from airborne dust and moisture
“Silica gel breathers” are used in many industries, on many types of equipment, to protect the hydraulic fluids within the reservoirs from dirt and moisture present in the air and surrounding environment.
“Hydraulic reservoir / tank”
Hydraulic systems consist of three parts: a hydraulic pump driven by a motor, valves to guide the system, and the motor. Hydraulic fluids and oils are stored in a reservoir attached to the hydraulic system. Hydraulic reservoirs vary in terms of capacity, but need to be large enough to accommodate the thermal expansion of fluids and changes in fluid level due to normal system operation.
Hydraulic cylinders and pumps move the hydraulic fluid through the system, powering the hydraulic drive system. If the hydraulic fluid is not kept free from dirt and moisture, it can degrade over time and create wear in the system or lead to a breakdown of equipment.
“Substation Transformer “<b>
Substations are high voltage electric facilities that provide electric current to consumers. These substations transform the electric voltage from a high voltage to a lower voltage, or from a low voltage to a higher one. The liquid filled transformers have insulating oil reservoirs that hold fire resistant insulating fluid. The insulating oil serves two purposes. It serves as electrical insulation to withstand the high voltages present in the transformer and it dissipates heat generated within the transformer. The oil must maintain maximum dielectric strength and resist degredation from heat and oxidation. When transformers fail, it leads to high repair costs, long downtime and possible safety risks. Moreover, transformers are too expensive to replace regularly and must be properly maintained to maximize their life expectancy.
As part of a complete preventative maintenance program, oil analysis should be used to monitor the condition of the transformer oil and predict problems before they occur. A study by Hartford Steam Boiler over a period of 20 years indicates that 13% of all transformer failures were caused by inadequate maintenance. This number is significant, considering the study found that the average age of a transformer at the time of failure was only slightly more than 11 years; transformers are expected to last 25 to 30 years.
Fluid contamination is the primary cause of component wear and shortened fluid life in hydraulic systems. Hydraulic fluid will last 3 to 4 times as long if kept clean and dry.
“Power Generation”
Coal fired power generation plants produce electricity making conveniences of modern life possible. The process and environment from which power flows is challenging for equipment. Water and coal dust are ever present. This combination of moisture and dust are the two most common avoidable contaminates found in lubricants.
“Railroad Maintenance
”
Railroad Maintenance-of-Way equipment is used to clean, maintain and repair railroad tracks. Hydraulic systems are used to remove and insert new spikes, replace the ties, and move the rail. When this equipment is dispatched to perform maintenance, there is a limited window of opportunity to work before the next train comes along. Depending on the type of equipment and the job it does, the environment can be very dusty. Hydraulic systems that enable the machine to do the required work must be reliable and free of moisture and dirt.
Equipment vibration is a major concern, as the equipment travels down the track. A major Railroad was concerned that the standard disposable “silica gel breathers “might not withstand the hours of vibration.
