Compressed Air Filter Drain Valve

Wilkerson manufactures and markets a complete line of compressed air treatment components and control products.

Compressed air filter drain valve.

Stand alone air directional control valves. Compressed air drain valves moisture and condensate will accumulate within a compressed air system. Also known as drip legs these drain valves have a float that automatically opens the drain when the bowl begins to fill. Increased moisture in compressed air can become burdensome for manufacturing processes that require clean dry air.

Condensate drain valves remove condensate from the air system without losing excessive compressed air and without shutting down the system. As an in line filter you may use after the air compressor unit or after your air regulator just before your air tool. With a discharge capacity of more than four gallons per minute these drain valves can handle large compressed air systems. Operating temperature 0 50 c.

Condensate can have harmful effects on a system when not removed. They close and send a signal to turn the device off when pressure drops. Whether the pressure is very low this filter can effectively remove oil water and other contaminants separates them and drains everything at one push of the drain valve. One of the biggest impediments of moisture in a compressed air stystem revolves around corrosion and rust.

Air signal on off valves when system pressure reaches the maximum these valves open and send an air signal to turn on a downstream device such as a discharge valve or throttle. General air treatment drain valves are suited for any air reservoir tank air water separator compressed air filter air dryer or drip leg where the removal of condensate is required. These include filters regulators and lubricators air dryers separators drains and other components used in air preparation.

Compressed air filter with manual drain valve. If a timed solenoid drain valve opens 3 4 times per hour the cost of the wasted air will be 80 per valve per year. The average annual energy cost to maintain a compressed air system is 0 23 per 1000 ft3. Separation degree 100 based on 0 01 mm.

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. Zero loss drains don t waste any compressed air and have a payback of approximately 6 months 1 year. Install them at low points in your line after separators dryers filters and aftercoolers. 4 6 out of 5 stars 224.
