Automatic
Condensate Drains
 Model
SCE Condensate Drain
This unit is designed for the safe and
efficient drainage of fluids such as condensed moisture, oil, water, etc.
It contains an electronic circuit which provides the timing function and
the continual repetition of the control function.
The control cycle of the solenoid valve is repeated indefinitely while
the power supply to the unit is maintained.
 Model CDE1610 Capacitance-Type Drain
The CDE1610 discharges only condensate, not air. The
valve is servo controlled, thereby permitting the use of a large diameter
orifice. Careful design and component selection, together with the use of a
suitable sized fiberglass reinforced plastic casing, ensure precise and reliable
operation with working pressures up to 232 psig.
Key Benefits
- Reliable
- Power "On' LED
- Manual TEST button for checking drain operation
- 230/1/60, 115/1/60, or 24/1/60 Power Supply options
- NPT inlet and outlet connections
THE
PROBLEM
An
inevitable problem in compressed air systems is the presence of water vapor
which, when it condenses, entrains solid particles and lubricating oil
from the compressor. This
oily emulsion must be drained in order to prevent it from contaminating the
distribution network. Condensate
drains of the float type can get clogged and malfunction, thereby requiring
frequent servicing. Timer-operated drains, on the other hand, are generally much
more reliable
but they can be expensive to operate because of the large volumes of compressed
air they tend to discharge.
THE
SOLUTION
The CDE1 61 0 capacitance-type drain discharges only condensate, not air.
The valve is servo-controlled, thereby permitting the use of a large
diameter orifice. Careful design and component selection, together with the use
of a suitably sized fiberglass reinforced plastic casing, ensure precise and
reliable operation with working pressures up to 232 psig.
DESCRIPTION
AND OPERATION
The condensate feeds into the CDE1 61 0 through the connector (1) and
collects in the bowl (2). The
capacitive sensor (3) continuously monitors the liquid level and sends a signal
to the control card as soon as the container is full.
The solenoid valve (4) is then activated and the membrane (5) opens the
drain port (6). When the CDE1 61 0
is empty, the drain port is fully closed and sealed once more before any
compressed air can leak out.
