The second key element of a controlled breathing system is a desiccator, which removes moisture.
Since the TA340’s desiccant cartridge is mounted on the back end of the valve, when it breathes air in, the air goes directly over the desiccant bed to capture moisture on entry. For ease of desiccant replacement, the system is designed to accept an externally accessible replacement desiccant cartridge.
“It’s critical for anyone servicing a controlled breathing system to have an externally accessible replacement desiccant cartridge,” says James Weaver, a Mechanical Engineering Manager at Flir Systems, a world leader in thermal imaging with a growing presence in government, military, and defense. “Besides being easier and quicker, it minimizes moisture entry from outside air since the entire enclosure does not have to open. I’m glad we were able to include this in its compact design.”
Above all, Weaver appreciated the controlled breathing system’s space saving capability, which allowed Flir to pack even more functionality into its compact enclosure, especially on applications in which space was very difficult to find.
