This electronic condensate drain uses a combination of a capacitive sensor and an indirect operated solenoid valve to discharge the built-up condensate from a pneumatic system. Oil-contaminated, oil-free and aggressive condensate is handled without problem, at a maximum rate of 5.5 l/h at 7 bar (1.45 gal/h at 101.5 psi). It is suitable to be used with a maximum compressor capacity of 2.5 m3/min (88.25 cfm), a maximum refrigeration dryer performance of 5 m3/min (176.5 cfm) and it has a maximum filter performance of 25 m3/min (882.5 cfm). This condensate drain is designed for operating pressures ranging from 0.8 to 16 bar (11.6 to 232 psi) and operating temperatures ranging from 1 to 60°C (33.8 to 140°F).
This automatic condensate drain is equipped with a G 1/2 inch female threaded inlet port and two outlet ports, a G 1/4 inch threaded port and 10 mm hose pillar.
The condensate drain should be positioned at the lowest point in the system to collect all the condensate. When the condensate fills up the drain valve to a preset level it will open and discharge through its outlet ports. The condensate can then for instance be sent to an oil and water separator. The operating voltage for this valve is 230 V AC and it is manufactured to an IP67 protection class.
This model is optimized for easy handling, installation and maintenance. It has a durable housing design consisting of aluminum and plastic with glass fiber reinforcement, while the large valve diameters prevent clogs and emulsion formation. Refer to the user manual for proper use.
Pros:
- Low operating costs as there is no loss of compressed air during draining
- Durable and resistant to dirt
- No delicate mechanical components
- Suitable for oil-contaminated, oil-free and aggressive media
Cons:
- Equipped with only one inlet port
BEKOMAT 31U series
The BEKOMAT 31U and 32U series are designed to drain off condensate without loss of compressed air, thus reducing energy costs and CO2 emission. This is possible because of the combination of a capacitive sensor, smart electronics for volume-controlled condensate discharge and an indirect operated solenoid valve. These drains are suitable for oil-contaminated, oil-free and aggressive condensates up to a maximum pressure of 16 bar and a maximum temperature of 60°C. They are equipped with a female threaded inlet port and two outlet ports of which one is female threaded and the other one is hose pillar. Their power supply can be either 230 V AC or 24 V DC and they are manufactured to a protection class IP 67. These cost-effective condensate drains are characterized by a durable design and a long and reliable service life.
