Vanair Pneumatic Drains

Heavy-duty, zero-loss and energy-saving drain valves
Pneumatic Drains

 

Van Air Systems Pneumatic Drains Valves (PDV) are heavy-duty, zero-loss, non-electric drain valves that save energy. It is well-suited for remote or portable applications and is safe to operate in hazardous areas. As a demand-operated drain, the PDV automatically does the work of draining for you, eliminating the guesswork of setting the cycle time of the timed drain valve. As condensate levels change, the PDV automatically adjusts to drain as needed, without permitting valuable compressed air to escape. Designed with a full-flow ball valve and proprietary pilot valve using a magnet and proximity switch, the PDV will not clog. This unique pilot valve design allows the control air to be totally separated from the condensate, preventing any attraction of pipe scale. The ball valve eliminates the need to install a strainer. This means better dependability than competitive units. The see-through vessel allows visual inspection of the condensate. The test button, which is included on both the brass and stainless steel units, makes it easy to check valve operation or manually drain the system. The Van Air Systems PDV is a versatile draining system ideal for receivers, dryers, tanks, drop legs, pipes, and any equipment requiring regular condensate removal.

Automatic Drain Valves

Cooling, drying and filtering your compressed air is only part of the air treatment process. In a 100 scfm system operating at 100 psig in ambient conditions of 70°F and 50% relative humidity, each 8-hour shift produces 2.5 gallons of condensate that must be drained from the system. Van Air Systems offers a variety of sturdy and economical options for draining condensate from your compressed air system. Automatic drains remove condensed liquid – usually a mixture of water and compressor lubricant — from compressed air systems. Our drain valves are commonly installed on air receiver tanks, drip legs, bulk moisture separators, coalescing filters, refrigerated air dryers, and deliquescent air dryers.
