Oil desiccant size of 136,000 liters/36,000 gallons
Options
Polar models offer additional internal heaters to withstand harsh temperatures down to -60 °C
Multiple mounting options available for new or retrofit installation

Applications
The Qualitrol Polar Xtreme® Smart Transformer Breather removes moisture from air entering oil-filled transformers or LTC conservators. The PE breathers regenerate and operate in the same manner as the standard line of breathers offered by Qualitrol, but offer additional protection for the polar climate. Polar Xtreme® breathers are engineered to house additional heaters to prevent condensate water from freezing at the outlet of the breather. The addition of these heaters ensures proper drainage after the silica gel has been regenerated in extremely cold temperatures.
