Vent dryer keeps stored liquids safe from humidity

A Brownell product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Mar 6, 2008

High powered vent dryers introduced into the Brownell drum vent range were designed to ensure maximum protection of liquid storage vessel contents against moisture contamination

The vent dryers also minimise pressure differential and odour emissions while reducing the build-up of ignitable vapours and assisting flame suppression.

These rechargeable units come in two sizes for high duty or standard applications and offer a dual thread mounting option to simplify installation in a wider range of applications.

An externally visible colour change signals users to change the beaded molecular sieves, via an access port plug, to simplify maintaining full protection.

Opening an unprotected vessel in normal use immediately admits humidity and water vapour into the airspace, contaminating the fluid when it is drawn, or the air above it is displaced or moved by normal temperature variations and barometric pressure.

This can seriously alter many of the active properties of a fluid.

The high powered vent dryers have active desiccant bed to retain any moisture before it can enter the vessel: they can even remove existing condensation when fitted to new vessels of polished fluid.

The unit also provides full weather protection.
