Standard Condensate Drain
User Manual v1
What to look for in a condensate
drain
Compressed air condensate contains particles
that contaminate compressed air systems and
potentially cause valve blockages. It is
important to choose a drain that offers a large
enough orifice. Avoid drains that have
diaphragm type valve constructions, the
diaphragm has a very small hole in it, that once
blocked, the complete drain fails to operate.
Drains are also installed outdoors. IP65 (NEMA
4) insulation protection is therefore a minimum
requirement. Avoid drains that do not comply
to this minimum specification.
For long life expectations select drains that
have FPM seals. FPM is the best suited for the
aggressive make up of compressor condensate.
Servicing a drain must be straight forward and
quick. Avoid drains that are not service friendly
as this will cost more time during the
maintenance interval.
Compressed Air Al
liance’s
condensate drains
Compressed Air Alliance is a proud supplier of
JORC drains. JORC drains are robust and
designed for long life heavy duty applications.
Our electronic zero loss condensate drains
automatically detect the level of condensate in
the system and open / close accordingly.
Direct acting valve construction has proven to
be the most reliable option for condensate
draining applications. Combined with stainless
steel moving parts, our drains offer a long life
guarantee and are less sensitive to aggressive
particles found in condensate.
The drain housings are constructed from
robust coated aluminum and not from plastic.
This ensures that no damage is occurring
during transport, installation, functional
operation and the subsequent maintenance
moments throughout the drain’s working life.
High grade coil insulation protect the copper
wire from overheating and top brand PCB
components are applied on our electronic
modules.
The FPM seals have been specifically selected
based on their high and low temperature
operation characteristics. In addition, FPM is
the best choice for compressed air condensate
as it is often quite aggressive.
The alarm contact allows connection of an
indicator light or siren to immediately alert
personnel of a condensate drain failure.
Servicing the drains is quick and simple.
Maintenance can be performed on site without
any special tooling or equipment. Low cost
service kit packages are available for all drains.
Our condensate drains can be applied in both
oil lubricated and oil free compressor
applications.
Standard condensate drains
The Standard Condensate Drain is an electronic
zero air loss drain with a normally open (N/O)
or normally closed (N/C) alarm feature, suitable
for larger compressed air applications.
The Standard Drain is cost effective and offers a
rapid pay-back period due to competitive
pricing level, zero air loss and energy saving
features.
The compact and robust industrial housing, 2/2
way direct acting valve with a large orifice,
alarm feature and the integrated mesh strainer
make the Standard Condensate Drain a highly
reliable draining solution.
Equipped with a digital, LED illuminated, sight-
port/level indicator showing you the
condensate level inside the reservoir and
enabling you to monitor the drain’s operation,
even in poor lit places.
