New sensor technology by Des-Case makes desiccant breathers more advanced

Des-Case desiccant breathers now come with IsoLogic technology.

A division of Wainbee Limited, Filtramax distributes a wide variety of filtration solutions for the Canadian market. One of the manufacturers that Filtramax works with is Des-Case Corporation, which produces innovative desiccant breathers. And Des-Case’s latest breakthrough is IsoLogic, a sensor technology that brings its VentGuard breathers into the world of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

With IsoLogic, these VentGuard products are now the first desiccant breathers connected to the IIoT – and, as a result, the most accurate available.

Recording spikes in humidity, ingress

IsoLogic sensor technology allows users to get a predictive look into their breather equipment. It offers a digital reading of remaining breather life, saturation direction, and temperature by eliminating the subjectivity of colour-changing desiccant media. By giving an accurate reading of breather status, IsoLogic ensures that the user never replaces the breather too early or leaves it on too long, leaving an asset unprotected. Its humidity and temperature sensors communicate through an RFID-connected module, which synchronizes to the corresponding app with Bluetooth, within a 100-foot range.

By detecting spikes in humidity and water ingress in desiccant breathers, IsoLogic improves any reliability program. A sudden increase in moisture levels inside equipment headspace can cause failure that results in needless unplanned downtime and expense if not caught early. IsoLogic helps to maintain operational efficiency and save organizations time and money.

Another strong advantage of using Des-Case breathers with IsoLogic is convenience. The technology is accessible virtually anywhere, as long as the Internet is available. Users can view breather status and trend data on a web platform at home, in the office, or even on the road. IsoLogic also reduces the risk of workplace injury by monitoring breathers installed on equipment that is remote or difficult to access.

VentGuard breathers from Filtramax use check-valve technology to isolate the system and breathe only when required. This is part of the reason why they make a perfect solution for protection of low-flow applications with intermittent operation. Now, with Des-Case’s revolutionary IsoLogic sensor technology added, they have become the most accurate desiccant breathers available as well.
