Removing Condensate from Compressed Air
Air Trap automatically drains condensate and oil from compressed air systems.
The trap can be fitted with a pressure –balancing line to ensure air can escape from the trap body to prevent air locking
Recommended Installations include receiver tank ,after coolers and air mains Air trap automatically
Mainly at start up condensate enters the air trap the float is rising and condensate will be discharged through the wide open valve
Air which usually enters the trap body together with the condensate will accumulate in the upper part of the trap body to prevent the air locking a pressure balancing line connects the upper part of the trap with the drained equipment so that the air can escape easily from the trap body
Condensate continuously enters the air trap depending on the condensate amount float will move upward or downward to open or close the valve seat usually a certain liquid level will be maintained in the trap body and condensate will be discharged continuously .Air will leave the trap body through the pressure balancing
