AUTOMATIC DRAIN VALVES
Cooling, drying and filtering your compressed air is only part of the air treatment process. In a 100 scfm system operating at 100 psig in ambient conditions of 70°F and 50% relative humidity, each 8-hour shift produces 2.5 gallons of condensate that must be drained from the system. Van Air Systems offers a variety of sturdy and economical options for draining condensate from your compressed air system. Automatic drains remove condensed liquid – usually a mixture of water and compressor lubricant — from compressed air systems. Our drain valves are commonly installed on air receiver tanks, drip legs, bulk moisture separators, coalescing filters, refrigerated air dryers, and deliquescent air dryers.
AUTOMATIC DRAIN VALVES
SOLENOID ELECTRIC DRAINS
The inexpensive and reliable electric drain valve (EDV) automatically removes condensate from your air system. It has an integral strainer to prevent clogging and saves time and money by eliminating the need for manual draining. The EDV also eliminates the need for the wasteful practice of bleeding, or leaving cracked open manual drain valves. With adjustable valve open and cycle time settings, all EDV Series drain valves can be set for your operating conditions. The valve open time may be set for 10 to 60 seconds and the cycle time may be set for 1 to 60 minutes.
