The HSD – Head Space Dehydrator is designed for permanent installation on a hydraulic reservoir to reduce water vapor condensation. This water is a major cause of rust, cavitation, sensor
failure, and other system failure modes. By passing a stream of dry, filtered air over the top of the oil, the moist air will be removed from the reservoir with dry air taking its place.
The resulting reduction in water and particulate in the oil will result in better life of critical system components. Most hydraulic reservoirs in Primary Metals, Pulp & Paper, and other industries contain a pocket of air between the top of the reservoir and the fluid level. By addressing this known mechanism of water and particulate ingression, we can minimize contamination more effectively at a lower cost
