General information
Features
The SFW-P cap maintains a reservoir of air under pressure above the oil level within the limits established in the design stage to avoid deformation of the tank walls. Benefits:
- it reduces reservoir air volume intake keeping clean oil and filter;
- it improves suction pump action during working conditions reducing cavitation phenomenon;
- it prevents fluid leakage when the system is part of a mobile unit;
- it reduces foam in fluid.
SFW-P caps are made with a special internal geometry which stops the leakage of the fluid to the outside.
Technical data
Air flow rate for the different executions of breather caps can be obtained from the diagram on the basis of the difference of air pressure inside and outside the reservoir.
