Compressed Air Auto Drain Traps

All most every factory has a compressed air installation of one kind or another. Compressed air operated equipment is now so widely used that there are few works which do not have a compressed air system. Compressed air tools, actuators and instruments must be clean and dry and may need to carry a measured amount of oil mist for lubrication. Like steam, compressed air gives up moisture on cooling and this carried, receivers and air mains. To give dry air at the point of usage it is necessary to lay out the distribution system properly, provide adequate drain points and fit separators to remove the mist of water from the air. Rex offer a full line of compressed air auto drain traps for fitting to drain points on cooler, receivers, separators and mains drain points. They are full automatic and do not require any manual setting or adjustment for draining interval as in the case of electrically operated drain traps. The electronic drain trap opens cyclically, irrespective of whether there is enough water or not for discharge. In case there is no water, the trap cannot differentiate air from water, hence there is no alternative for the trap but to leak air, while ball float type or inverted bucket trap opens only to the presence of water and closes immediately the water has been cleared. Hence there is no any air loss.
