Stop harmful moisture condensation contamination
Brownell manufactures a wide range of tank vent dryers and adsorbents which prevent valuable fluids from being contaminated by harmful moisture condensation.
They are supplied with a sealing washer, require only a screwdriver for fixing in place and suit both retrofit and OEM applications.
Such items as optical sighting devices and camera lenses often require protection against humidity and condensation but their size and design prevent the use of conventional desiccators which even may protrude into the optical path.
Silica gel desiccant has high drying efficiency and water vapour capacity in environments of moderate to high humidity and temperatures under 40C, with the advantage of being reactivated by heating when saturated.
The molecular sieve option is particularly effective at creating very dry environments with low dew points and in higher temperature ranges up to 100C. Request a free brochure from Brownell ...
