Why Air Compressors Need Timing Drain

2026-04-10Views:

If the condensed water of the air compressor is not discharged for a long time, the inside of the unit will rust and the lubricating oil effect will be reduced, which will affect the operation of the air compressor. In summer, the air compressor can also stop and start continuously.

What is the basic principle?

The key to the condensate of the air compressor comes from the gas. The air sucked by the air compressor contains water. This steam containing water enters the device. As the operating temperature of the gas increases, this water evaporates, and the evaporated water is cooled together with the compressed air into the air compressor water tank, and a large amount of liquid water settles down, called condensed water. Now the air humidity is high, condensation water is more.

How does the air compressor drain work?

Before starting the equipment, open the filter valve of the separation equipment, drain the condensate, check whether there is leakage, and check the safety valve. Ordinary users before or at the end of the operation, the condensate is completely deposited and drained, without affecting the normal use of the air compressor unit, to ensure the drainage effect.
