Engineering
Sanitary fittings such as pipes, valves, and tanks need to be kept dry to avoid corrosion, mold growth, and bacterial contamination.
Desiccants are used in various ways in the engineering industry. For example, cartridge-style desiccant breathers are used to prevent the contamination of oil and fuel in storage tanks and hydraulic systems. The breathers allow air to flow into and out of the tank or system while trapping moisture and other contaminants in the desiccant material. In addition, desiccant packs are used in the packaging of sanitary fittings to absorb any residual moisture and maintain the quality of the fittings during transportation and storage.
Desiccants also play a role in the maintenance of compressed air systems used in sanitary fittings. Moisture in compressed air systems can cause corrosion, damage tools and fittings, and lead to bacterial growth. Desiccant air dryers are used to remove moisture from compressed air systems, providing dry, clean air that is essential for the performance and longevity of these systems.
