Where there is compressed air, there is water, which means that condensate management is a critical step in supplying clean, dry compressed air to your tools, equipment, and processes. In the process of generating and distributing compressed air, moisture condensation is inevitable. It usually contains oil and other contaminants that can sometimes be particularly aggressive. Companies recognize the pitfalls that accompany contaminated air–increased maintenance, higher operating costs, premature equipment failure, and replacement, as well as an overall decrease in productivity. Thus, it is extremely important that industries not only install moisture separator but electric timer auto drain valve along with it so as to remove moisture from compressed air lines without loss of air pressure.
Electric Timer Auto Drain Valve
These drains are the most economical drains on the market. They use a solenoid to open and close a needle valve. The downside to these valves is that they clog up when there are heavy particulates in the drain lines. Since these valves only have a needle seat drain, they often clog up. If your condensate line is clean, like on a coalescing filter, then these timered solenoid drain valve would be the perfect solution.
How the auto drain valve works:
Auto Drain Solenoid valve with timer comes with Solenoid valve attached with Auto drain along with the timer. The desired ON time and OFF time can be set on the timer. The solenoid valve will remain ON for the set time and will remain closed for the set time.
For example, you can set the Solenoid valve to remain ON for 5 s. After every 24 hrs, the SOV will remain ON for 5s and will remain shut for the rest of the time.
Thus with an Auto drain solenoid valve with a timer, you will be removing the moisture collected at the bottom of the tank at the right level. Thus protecting your compressed air tank, also reducing the load, and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the air dryer. In turn, protecting the equipment connected to the air dryer.
