Condensate drain
Compressors (Fig. 10)
Draining the condensate from the pressure vessel is
recommended during regular operation. Switch off the
compressor at the mains and lower the pressure to a
maximum of 1 bar, for instance, by venting air through the
connected device. Place the hose with the drain valve into a
vessel prepared in advance and open the drain valve (1) to
remove the condensate from the tank.
Carefully and slowly open the drain valve. Quickly opening the drain valve is
accompanied by a loud sound and uncontrollable stream of accumulated
condensate.
Compressors without a dryer may be equipped with the
Automatic Condensate Drain to allow the condensate to
drain without operator intervention (see chap. 8.2.).
Compressors with air dryer (Fig. 11)
Condensate from compressors with air dryers is
automatically drained into a collecting bottle. The bottle must
be drained regularly.
Monitor the level in the vessel using the 1 l or 2 l markings (depending on the volume
of the vessel), and empty at least once a day. The vessel may overflow if the
condensate is not drained out of the vessel at the defined interval.
Risk of slipping on a wet floor in case of the collecting bottle overflow.
THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY FOLLOW-UP CHECKS
:
For DK50-10S and DK50-10S/M compressors with a cabinet - remove / lift up the box.
For the DK50-10S/M 10 bar compressor model with a cabinet - remove the cover of the
cabinet, disconnect the cabinet connector from the compressor connector and remove / lift
up the box.
Safety valve check
(Fig. 12)
When the compressor is operated for the first time, make sure
that the safety valve is working properly. Turn the screw (2)
on the safety valve (1) several rotations to the left until the
safety valve releases air. Let the safety valve vent for only a
few seconds. Turn the screw (2) to the right until it seats,
closing the valve.
