The effectiveness of equipment design to clean, dry and condition air depends on the air drain trap selected and how well it operates.
* A 100 horsepower compressor operating at 100 psig will produce 3.74 gallons of water per hour. In one 24 hour cycle that amounts to 89.9 gallons of water.
* Air drain traps come in many styles and types so let us review your options along with pros and cons for each type offered.
* A manual drain valve requires an operator to open the drain valve at the right time and for the correct duration to blow the water from the system.
* Consider use of mechanical traps for only clean applications to avoid much frustration.
* Virtually all timer valves are set to over blow and not allow water in the system resulting in large air losses.
* We try to avoid product mention but the Float Operated Drain Trap made by Drain All is worth mentioning due to a long track record of reliable operation with zero air loss.
