Manual condensation dump system
Oil- / water separators
The compressor comes as standard with a manual
condensation dump system. Drain condensate separators
every 15 to 30 minutes, depending to air moisture.
Option Automatic Condensate Drain: To release the complete
condensate through the black plastic hoses we recommend
using a 10 l container at least.
The drain noise can be kept to a minimum by using a
silencer.
Manual drain
To drain manually, open the condensate drain valve of the 2nd
stage oil / water separator (Fig. 1) and the condensate drain valve
of the filter housing (Fig. 2). Open valve spindle max. 1.5 turns
anti-clockwise. The condensate will be drained. Then close valve spindle clockwise.
Maintenance intervals
We recommend to clean oil and water separators inside every 250 operating hours or at least once
a year, to check for corrosion damage and to replace o-rings if necessary (not the o-ring of the valve
spindle).
All oil / water separators have integrated o-rings which need to be replaced every 500 operating
hours (incl. o-ring of the valve spindle).
Note
The collected condensate can contain oil and has
to be disposed according to regulations.
