The version with semi-automatic drain functions in the following way:
Normally Open at 0 psi, (Closes at 4 psi). Then manually push to relieve or turn to close.
With the operator mechanism turned counter-clockwise, each time the pressure falls below 0,3 bar, [4.35 psi]
the condensate will be released; when resetting the pressure, the drain will close again.
The release can also be carried out manually; when the bowl is pressurized, the operator mechanism is pushed
upwards.
To stop the discharge of condensate, the operator mechanism is turned clockwise to completely close the drain.
Automatic Drain - Type "F*3"
The auutomatic drain model discharges the condensate each time the maximum permissable level in the bowl is reached.
This version should be used where there is likely to be a large amount of condensate or where the system is always pressurized and the semi-automatic drain would not be used.
Normally open at 0 psi (closes at 3 psi), then opens by liquid level to drain so long as within operating pressure range (22 psi - 220 psi)
Depressurization/"Spitter" Drain - Type "F*4"
The depressurization drain allows the rapid removal of condensate at each air consumption of the system.
A pressure drop of 0.1 bar (2 psi) is sufficient to obtain the release of a small quantity of air
or condensate present at the bottom of the reservoir, after which the drain is closed.
Normally closed at 0 psi, opens at pressure drop >
2 psi, (Δp=0.1 bar), so long as within operating pressure limits of 4.5 - 145 psi.
Depressurization Drain, protected - Type "F*5"
The depressurization drain allows the rapid removal of condensate at each air consumption of the system.
A pressure drop of 1 bar (14.5 psi) is sufficient to obtain the release of a small quantity of air
or condensate present at the bottom of the reservoir, after which the drain is closed.
This version has a filtering element which protects the outlet holes from any impurity.
Normally open at 0 psi, closes at 4.5 psi, then opens with pressure drop >
14.5 psi, (Δp=1 bar)
1/8" port (without drain) - Type "F*8"
This version permits connection of external items to the bowl via a through hole of Ø 3mm and a threaded port 1/8".
Application example:
Mounted mini valve series A (or ball valve) for remotely operated drain.
