Intelligent Drains for Compressed Air Efficiency

Intelligent condensate drains (also called drain valves) keep your compressed air system in optimal shape. The main benefits of condensate management in compressed air systems include easy discharge of condensate throughout the complete compressed air chain, less wear of distribution network and equipment, less stop in production, and little maintenance needed.

The ambient air, which surrounds the compressor, not only contains oxygen but also other substances which form part of the condensate in the air compression process. The condensate can also be made up of the lubricant used by the compressor, depending on the type of the compressor itself. However, the condensate and the oil in it can damage the entire system, so it must be treated and removed in the correct way.
