Abstract
A method of regenerating a desiccant in a breather communicating with a vessel includes creating a temperature signal that is a temperature associated with at least one of the vessel and the breather for a plurality of cycles, each cycle having a predetermined duration, and regenerating the desiccant when the second derivative of the temperature signal reaches a peak value.
