COLORASSIST by Des-Case, from Wainbee

Wainbee Limited carries a broad family of Des-Case industrial solutions, such as the new COLORASSIST high-capacity breather. Recommended for tank farms and large or remote applications, COLORASSIST is the longest-lasting breather available today; its longer service life results in reduced waste, lower cost of ownership, and time saved in unit replacement.

Due to its innovative COLORASSIST technology, the Des-Case COLORASSIST breather uses the highest-capacity desiccant available to extend service life by 30 per cent.

From hydraulics to storage tanks

A key feature of this unique breather is its enhanced colour indicator, which accurately gauges remaining life, diagnoses the source of any moisture contamination, and improves in-use visibility. COLORASSIST works for such applications as hydraulics, wind turbines, large gearboxes, and storage tanks in several different industries, including general manufacturing, wind energy, storage, mining, and pulp and paper.

COLORASSIST is compatible with all mineral oils, most synthetic oils, and diesel fuels, and customers are encouraged to contact the Des-Case technical-support team for further chemical-compatibility information. The housing is made of nylon 6/6 30 per cent glass-filled, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and silicone, while the seals contain Buna-N, EPDM, and PVC. The filter media is made of polyester and polyurethane, and the breather also contains silica gel as hydrophilic media and an indicator with a proprietary polymer formula. Other technical specifications of this solution from Wainbee:

  • Temperature range: -29 to 93 degrees Celsius
  • Filter efficiency: three micrometres absolute
  • Check-valve cracking pressure: 1/10 of a pound per square inch (psi)
  • Volume of desiccant: 2300 cubic metres
  • Colour indication: blue to pink
  • Recommended maximum airflow: 24 cubic feet per minute at one psi
  • Recommended maximum reservoir fluid flow or displacement: 680 litres per minute at one psi
  • Recommended gearbox, pump, and storage tank: 3,785 litres
  • Recommended hydraulic and central lube reservoir: 1,514 litres

This high-capacity breather by Des-Case measures 25.4 by 14.3 centimetres, with a 25-millimetre clearance required for breather changeout and a minimum clearance height of 13 millimetres needed from the mounting surface. COLORASSIST comes with a thread size of one inch FNPT.
