Condensate drainage
Manual drain system
Each time you stop the compressor open the manual drain valves (1,2) so as to remove condensate.
During every start of the compressor, open only
BA filter’s drain valve (2).
Then during the regular
operation of the compressor open both 2
nd
(1) and BA filter (2) drains every 15 minutes.
Automatic drain system
Standard equipment in all electric versions.
Optional equipment in petrol and diesel versions.
The system consists of two timer controlled condensate drains, one after the 2
nd
, and one after the final
stage and the BA filter. The drains are controlled electronically and open automatically.
The user can adjust the interval time (4) from 0,5 - 45 min. and the discharge time (3) from 0,5 - 10 sec.
Max. operating pressure:
2
nd
stage drain valve: 80 bar
3
rd
stage drain valve: 250 or 350 bar
In case of emergency (damaged auto drain system), the user may use the two manual drains. During
routine operation open both drain valves every 15 minutes.
Note 1:
Condensate color is milky-white. If condensates
suddenly change color or start smelling, this is indication
of oil presence. Immediately check:
1. oil quality
2. oil level
3.
filters’ condition and especially the condition of active
carbon filter
4.
air inlet filter’s condition
5. piston rings and cylinders condition
Note 2: All petrol compressors are equipped with an auto drain switch (5). Turn on this switch
always before engine start and turn it off after finalizing all works
(otherwise compressor’s battery
will be empty).
