Pump Bearing Housing Breather. Find out why this new technology is better — and why using the older technology could actually harm your pumps. During normal operations, pumps will breathe causing dirty, and often moist, plant air to enter the bearing housing. Moisture and dust often enter bearing housings (fig. However, a desiccant breather is more than just a means of preventing water. The constant level oiler replenishes oil lost by leakage through seals, vents, and various connections and plugs in the bearing housing. Older pump bearing assemblies require oil breathers, but giw’s pumps now use labyrinth bearing seals. To stop this breathing and resulting contamination, the breather vents on the housings should be plugged and suitable bearing protector seals (see note below) installed where the shaft protrudes through the housing. One of the most widely used methods of maintaining the proper level lubricant in a bearing housing is the constant level oiler (see figure 1). In a previous pumps & systems article (“the impact of water on pump bearing life,” august 2021), the author discussed the importance of controlling headspace humidity inside the bearing housing using a desiccant breather.
