Condensate Drain Valve Assemblies
With the winter months bearing down on us fast, it's time you made sure that your heating source is working properly and is up to date on its maintenance. In condensate drain valve arrangements described in published United Kingdon patent application No. 2038032A as for use in steam systems, sensing elements for insertion in the steam systems for triggering electronic circuits for controlling operation of the drain valves of the arrangements are electrical sensing probes operated in dependence upon condensate being present, or not present, at the level of the probe.
They reduce the need of operation of manual valves and the possiblity of damage and accident by condensate accumulation, and contribute to a better performance of the plant. The most effective means of controlling condensate drain trap moisture in the system is to install a New Jersey Dri Air Compressed Air Separator as far as possible from the compressor with New Jersey Condensate Drains installed wherever moisture collects in the lines.
Our people and our family of brands—including Club Car, Ingersoll Rand, Thermo King and Trane — work together to enhance the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings; transport and protect food and perishables; and increase industrial productivity and efficiency.
It is now the practice to put a screw drain plug in the bottom of the sump and when the operator decides to drain out the water and the sump 8 permits a large quantity of water and such other foreign material to build up in the sump thereby to reduce the frequency with which the water and such other impurities must be removed.
When condensate has built up to submerge the probe during a timing cycle, the output of the first integrated circuit 27 changes to a steady positive voltage and, at the end of this cycle, the output at the timer circuit pin (3) changes to zero volts.
Irrespective of the reason why the sump water backs up (primary sump failure, power outage, check valve failure, or excessive water flow from a storm) the battery backup system will activate and eject the water out of the home instead of flooding the basement.
If you require assistance, contact our service technicians, who are also qualified to examine and assess your entire compressed air system for further optimisation. Thus in the condensate drain valve arrangement of FIG. About 23% of these are pneumatic parts, 18% are valves, and 18% are air-compressor parts.
Condensate follows a serpentine path through a small orifice that is actuated by an electric timer. The FD Series automatic drain has been specially designed to deal with the problem of discharging condensate of this type from the system, reliably and without wasting valuable compressed air.
ASCO is offering two types of condensate drain valve assemblies to meet the requirements of virtually any compressor system application. The electronic level controlled condensate drain has become synonymous with efficient condensate discharge. Our zero air loss condensate drain valves look forward to meeting your expectations.
The offered sensing drain valves are designed along with quality proven raw materials and advance technology by vendor's professionals. Valves are opened manually in these types of drains to remove condensation. Gone (hopefully) are the days of installing timer drains on each receiver, separator, pre-filter dryer, and after-filter, ending up with a wall full of drains, possibly all firing at once.
A compression spring inside the governer keeps the valve open if the appliance stays without soon as the service pressure has reached the closing pressure to which the unit has been adjusted, the valve closes due to the differential pressure. The two settings need to be adjusted to the size of the compressed air system in such a way that all condensate is discharged with a minimum loss of air.
