System and apparatus for a diagnostic breather dryer having a coupleable expansion pack

A system for providing a breather for a reservoir, the system comprising:

• a breather having:
• a housing;
• a dehumidifying element positioned within the housing such that air passing through the breather from the outside to the inside or from the inside to the outside of the reservoir must pass through the dehumidifying element;
• an operational sensor positioned within the housing, wherein the operational sensor is configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a measured operational parameter of the breather;
• and
• an expansion pack coupleable to the housing, the expansion pack configured to receive the sensor signal indicative of the measured operational parameter and to transmit at least one of the measured operational parameter or a representation thereof;
• a control unit communicatively coupleable to the expansion pack, the control unit including a processor, a display unit, and a storage, the processor configured to execute a control application stored in the storage and configured to receive the at least one of the measured operational parameter or representation thereof;
• and
• a head space coupler coupleable between the reservoir and the expansion pack,
• wherein the expansion pack comprises at least one sensor and further comprises an intake section configured to couple to the head space coupler, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to measure at least one parameter associated with a medium received at the intake section.
