TIMER AUTO DRAIN VALVE FOR AIR COMPRESSOR Note Sold under Spare Part No Warranty! Model TIMER AUTO DRAIN VALVE 1/2'' 16BAR (230V 20W 50/60HZ) IP 00/65 FOR AIR COMPRESSOR (P/N:E20170) = RM160.00 PER PC (15-11-2022=AA18.3) Drain valves are a crucial part of the compressed air system. Condensate drain valves remove condensate from the air system without losing excessive compressed air and without shutting down the system. Condensate can have harmful effects on a system when not removed. For instance, moisture can wash lubrication from air tools and production equipment causing downtime and maintenance; an inconsistent supply of dry air can cause production quality problems; and excessive rust and scale can form in the air distribution system. Also, water can back up into the compressor and wreck the machinery, air dryers can become overloaded, and in-line filters can be destroyed. Electronic Timer Drains: These drains incorporate a solenoid valve and an electric timer. The timer usually has two settings: time between valve openings (usually in minutes) and amount of time the valve stays open (usually in seconds). The drain comes with an electrical cord that can be plugged into a wall outlet. By matching these two settings to the amount of condensate a system produces the condensate can be removed from the compressed air system. The goal is to set the timer long enough to empty all of the condensate but not so long that compressed air is wasted. A combination isolation valve and strainer, if not standard, is highly recommended. This keeps objects from plugging the orifice inside the automatic drain valve, which will keep condensate from being released
