T.R.A.P. Breather Technology
For Hydraulic and Lube Oil Reservoirs
MOISTURE MEETS ITS MATCH
Donaldson T.R.A.P. breathers collect and expel the moisture out of reservoirs, which means you wont need to change the breather due to water saturation unlike desiccant filters that require frequent change-out. TRAP water and particulate before it gets in without restricting air flow letting your hydraulic and lube oil reservoirs breathe easy.
Advanced Particulate Filtration and Oil Mist Control
Water has a way of sneaking into your hydraulic circuits unless you have a Donaldson T.R.A.P. breather standing guard over your system. Moisture is blocked by Donaldsons T.R.A.P. breather. In fact, it removes moisture at relative humidity levels as low as 15%. T.R.A.P. filtration technology reacts instantly to changes in thermal conditions blocking moisture. T.R.A.P. breathers strip moisture vapor from intake air and releases the moisture back to the atmosphere on the outflow cycle. The filter continuously regenerates its water holding capacity. T.R.A.P. breathers expel the moisture back out, eliminating the need to change the breather due to water saturation unlike desiccant filters that require frequent change-out. T.R.A.P. breathers not only protect against moisture but also provide advanced particulate filtration. TRAP water before it gets in without restricting air flow, letting your hydraulic and lube oil reservoirs BREATHE.
Compare Service Life Effectiveness
T.R.A.P. Technology Extended life (expels moisture and refreshes its holding capacity on each cycle). Reacts instantly to conditions in the hydraulic circuit, creating a moisture barrier without impeding airflow. Reduced service hours. Thermally reactive barrier that removes moisture at relative humidity levels as low as 15%. Superior moisture blocking and particulate filtration, down to 3 microns at 97% with up to 7x the media area. Built-in coalescing stage. Will not freeze in winter.
Desiccant Filters Shorter life (due to saturation of filtering material), leading to frequent replacement. Requires extended exposure to the air stream before absorption begins. Restricts airflow. Increased service hours. Absorbent filtering material that loses holding capacity with each cycle. Less effective moisture blocking and particulate filtration with smaller filtration area. No oil mist control. Subject to freezing in winter conditions.

Moisture Meets its Match
T.R.A.P breathers from Donaldson are the only breathers on the . market that literally strip moisture vapor from intake air and expel the moisture back to the atmosphere on the outow cycle. The lter continuously regenerates its water holding capacity! TRAPPED MOISTURE

The circuit breathes in air containing moisture vapor. The T.R.A.P. breather strips moisture and particulate from the incoming air, allowing only clean, dry air to enter the circuit.

During the exhalation cycle, The T.R.A.P. breather allows unrestricted airflow outward. The outflow of dry air picks up the moisture collected by the T.R.A.P. Breather during intake, and blows it back out fully regenerating the T.R.A.P. breathers water-holding capacity.
