The timer-operated electric drain valve constitutes a simple but important component of a compressed air system. Since air contains moisture that is compressed and becomes water, there is a need to get rid of the residue and liquids that flow through the pipes and collect in the air tank and at other points throughout the air system.
The simplest, easiest and most convenient way is to provide a timer-operated electric drain valve with two different times, to enable the customer to dispose of harmful residue and also determine the frequency and duration of discharge. The discharge valve is supplied as a unit including the separation valve, command timer, electrical cable, mesh filter for removal of debris from the piping, and a solenoid valve.

Improving energy efficiency
The drain valve’s mode of operation is discharge of water as a result of air pressure when opening the solenoid valve. In order to save air compressor energy, both frequency and duration of discharge of the drain valve may be adjusted, thus reducing loss of compressed air and, as a result, reducing compressor operation time.
