Simple Device Absorbs Water In Hydraulic Fluid
Michael Hurst says water contamination in hydraulic fluids is one of the leading causes of metal surface corrosion, rust and metal pitting. “Emulsified water can also cause sludge, seal damage, clog filters, and increase oil acidity that can score pistons. Our DryZoil Fluid Absorbers are just the ticket for removing moisture in working equipment as well as storage tanks,” Hurst says.
Placed individually or in bundles for larger tanks, the absorbers continuously remove all forms of bound, free and emulsified water in hydraulic fluids. One 12-in. long absorber is used for every 20 gal. of fluid. Hurst says up to 48 individual units can be bundled and linked to provide protection in large capacity storage tanks.
“Water removal extends the bearing life of equipment, stops hydrogen embrittlement that causes metal pitting, stops variable fluid viscosity, and improves the lubricity of fluids by maintaining optimum friction reducing capacities,” says Hurst. “The system also stops hydrolosis in synthetic esters and stops bacteria and algae contamination.”
The patented water absorbers are made of a proprietary material encased in a nearly indestructible fabric-type housing that’s placed inside a fluid tank and tethered to the filling cap. In harsher environments, the absorber is placed inside a small steel cartridge for protection. The cartridges hold up to 25 percent of their weight in water.
Hurst says DryZoil is a proven product that’s shown to provide 99 percent water reduction within 72 hours of being placed in a hydraulic tank. Priced from $32 to $110 plus S&H.
