Water in fluid tanks can cause major problems: corrosion, pump cavitation, viscosity changes, additive dropout, oxidation and a host of other major system issues.

The Donaldson Reservoir Air Dryer offers a solution to curb the damaging effects of moisture by dehydrating the reservoir headspace and removing dissolved moisture from exposed oils and fuels, according to the company.

The Reservoir Air Dryer combats moisture by introducing a steady flow of clean, dry air into tanks and reservoirs. The airflow keeps humidity relatively low in the headspace, pulling moisture from the fluids and preventing condensation.

Additionally, installation is easy and takes relatively little time, Donaldson Clean Fuel & Lubricant Solutions global director Scott Grossbauer said.

“Installation of the Reservoir Air Dryer involves no electrical hook-ups,” he said.

“You simply connect compressed air to the inlet of the unit and plumb into the headspace of the tank or reservoir.”
