Description

The cooling system on air-cooled compressors comprises air cooler (Ca) and oil cooler (Co).

The cooling air flow is generated by fan (FN).

2.4

Condensate system

The condensate, collected in the moisture trap of the air cooler, is evacuated via an automatic
drain. A compressor with integrated dryer has an additional drain on the moisture trap of the
dryer. Each drain is connected to its outlet connection (Da) and a manual drain valve (Dm).

Mechanical drains

The compressors have a mechanical condensate drain (MWD) as standard.
