Tank Breather

Tank Breathers. These are components, normally installed into a threaded port that breaches the tank wall, that allow air to pass in and out of the tank to compensate for changes in the tank’s internal pressure. Breathers are usually filtered and partly self cleaning. When air enters through the breather, contaminant particles are trapped at the surface of the breather’s filter. When air is expelled through the breather, it forces the contaminants back into the environment. When the air is expelled from the container, the pleated filter cleans itself by releasing dirt back into the atmosphere. When breathers are no longer performing efficiently, they can be easily replaced.
