Beat Humidity, Extend Equipment Life with Mobil
LubeGuard Desiccant Breather Filters from Acculube

Mobil LubeGuard Desiccant Breather Filters are powerful preventive maintenance tools that protect
industrial and commercial equipment that contains hydrocarbon and other non-aqueous fluids.

LubeGuard filters feature an advanced, patented design with a water-absorbing agent.
They are designed to prevent water and contaminants from entering fluid reservoirs as differential
pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling and
emptying process. They help reduce sludge deposits and water-contaminated oil, help extend oil
and filter life, reduce equipment wear, and minimize maintenance through fewer repairs and
production downtime.  Mobil Desiccant Breather Filters replace standard lubricant breather caps.

Here's how Mobil Desiccant Breather Filters work:

• As air enters the unit from outside or inside the reservoir, it contacts a low-density foam filter
  element in the Mobil Desiccant Breather Filter. Foam inserts capture oil mist and evenly
  disperse air to ensure efficient use of the desiccant stack.

• Air then passes through a woven polyester filter element that retains 100% of particulate matter
  down to 3 microns, and 73% of particulate matter down to 0.5 micron.

• The next filter stage is when the air passes through the desiccant stack, which absorbs the
  water vapor. For added protection, the air then passes through a second 3-micron filter.

• Clean dry air now flows through the standpipe (breather vent). As dry system air exits,
  it passes back through the silica gel, partially regenerating the desiccant.
