Desiccant Breathers
VJ Engineering Solutions Sdn. Bhd. is the authorized Agent of Luneta, USA for the country of Malaysia
Luneta desiccant breathers protect from contamination. Luneta breathers are designed to replace the breather cap or air filter on gearboxes, hydraulic fluid reservoirs, bulk storage tanks, oil drums, oilfilled transformers and other fluid reservoirs. The desiccant breathers absorb water from the air before it enters your fluid system and remove particulate contaminants as small as 2 microns. The silica gel changes color as it becomes depleted, turning from gold to dark green. This makes it easy to identify the condition of a breather and quickly replace it, maintaining the cleanliness of the fluid reservoir.

Luneta G-Series Breather:
Luneta’s G-Series breathers feature an isolation check valve that keeps exhaust air from depleting the desiccant and protects from volatile fumes and splashing fluids. The G-Series casing is constructed from Tritan®, a patented material highly resistant to impact and chemicals with a broad range of operating temperatures. These unique features equate to a longer life for your breather and your equipment. Ideal for most applications: The only desiccant breather design that is recommended for most fuel applications.
Typical Application:
Ideal for most applications – the only dessicant series that is recommended for diesel Fuel applications (not recommended for other fuel applications).
Specification:
- Vacuum/Pressure Gauge: A true-life accurate indicator of filter conditions
- Isolation Check Valve: Prevents exhaust air from depleting desiccant and protects against volatile
fumes and splashing fluids - Recommended Temperature Range: -20° F (-29° C) to 200° F (93° C)
- Type of Medium: 100% Silica Gel
Models:
LGSWDC | Stacking rings – Add more cartridges, which lengthens the breather service life. |
LGMSR | Wash down cap – Prevents water from getting into check valves during spray downs. |
LGHCAF | G-Series High Capacity Air Filter. Ideal for extremely dirty/dusty environments. 0.3-micron HEPA filter. |
LGHCAF-CS | G-Series High Capacity Air Filters. Case of 6. Ideal for extremely dirty/dusty environments. 0.3-micron HEPA filter. |
Luneta X-Series Breather:
dust environments. To extend the desiccant’s life, the X-Series incorporates two check valves and a reusable top cap. The check valves provide a closed system until airflow is required. Specifically, the intake check valve allows airflow into the breather only when differential pressure between the atmosphere and fluid reservoir exceeds a 0.1 psi threshold, while the exhaust check valve permits air to exit the reservoir when the differential pressure exceeds a 2.0 psi threshold. A 0.1 psi check valve is also available for exhaust. When the gold silica gel turns dark green, remove the reusable top cap from the bottom desiccant cartridge, dispose of the spent cartridge and then use the same top cap with a replacement cartridge.
Typical Application:
Paper mills, wash down areas, steam cleaning rooms and mine quarries.
Specification:
- Recommended Temperature Range: -20° F (-29° C) to 200° F (93° C)
- Type of Medium: 100% Silica Gel
Models:
LX100 | 1/2″ NPT Female |
LX503 | 1″ NPT Male |
Luneta D-Series Breather:
Luneta’s D-Series breathers are a disposable option designed to satisfy the requirements of most stationary fluid management applications. The breathers provide application flexibility by using 100% silica gel for moisture adsorption. D-Series models feature 2-micron solid particle filtration and an airflow rating of 20 cfm. The D-Series is constructed of industrial-grade raw materials, tested to ensure a wide range of chemical compatibilities, and features high-impact-resistant ABS top and bottom caps. The clear acrylic tube makes it easy to inspect the condition of the color-changing silica gel from a distance. The silica gel turns from gold to dark green to visually indicate the absorption of moisture and to confirm that the breather is getting the job done.
Typical Application:
Storage tanks, fluid reservoirs, transformers, pumps and gearboxes
Specification:
- Recommended Temperature Range: -20° F (-29° C) to 200° F (93° C)
- Type of Medium: 100% Silica Gel
Models:
