Condensate Handling
Condensate Drains
Condensate drains remove condensate separated in centrifugal separators, air receivers, refrigerated dryers and filters from the compressed air system. They are therefore indispensable components for efficient compressed air treatment and disruption-free compressed air supply.
Eco-Drains
Kaeser’s Eco-Drain Series of electronic no-loss condensate drain traps efficiently eliminate moisture from the compressed air system. They work well with equipment such as dryers and filters. The capacitance sensor technology in Eco-Drains only releases condensate – not valuable compressed air from your system.
Important features and advantages:
- Zero compressed air loss
- Reliable condensate removal in a variety of industrial and commercial environments
- Wear-free, capacitance level sensor
- Electronically controlled diaphragm valve releases condensate not compressed air
- Patented valve technology protects internal components from contamination even in harsh environments
- Simple installation and maintenance
AMD Automatic Magnetic Drain
Kaeser Automatic Magnectic Drains (AMD) remove condensate and other contaminants from your air system. The large capacity of automatic magnetic drains makes them suitable for a broad range of applications. Highly dependable and requiring little maintenance, automatic magnetic drains maintain a “liquid seal” which prevents compressed air loss. Unlike traditional float drains, the operating mechanisms are isolated from condensate so no fouling or sticking occurs.
Ideal for
- Coolers
- Refrigerated Dryers
- Filters
- Liquid Separators
- Simple installation and maintenance
Condensate Management Systems
Compressed air condensate is a by-product of all compressors. It is a mixture of ambient hydrocarbons, compressor lubricant with ambient moisture, and particulates that have been concentrated and removed from the air stream by dryers and filters. Your system uses drains and condensate separators to completely remove it from the air system.
KCF Kaeser Condensate Filter
The Kaeser Condensate Filter (KCF) is a convenient and economical way to handle contaminated compressor condensate in most small to midsize systems. The easily-removable cartridge separates the oil from the water. The water can be discharged into any municipal drain. After 4-6 months of use, dispose of the cartridge using the proper disposal bag provided.
Important features and advantages:
- Compatible with most standard lubricants
- Simple, reliable operation
- Quick and easy filter cartridge changeout
- No electricity required for operation
- Multiple units connect together to handle larger systems
- Connect multiple lines via optional manifold
- Disposal bag provided with each cartridge
KCM Kaeser Condensate Manifold
The KCM (Kaeser Condensate Manifold) is a small vessel that collects condensate from multiple sources and safely diffuses residual air pressure to maximize moisture separation with any condensate filter.
Two different models vent up to 4 and 8 condensate lines. The KCM is constructed from sturdy schedule 80 PVC and has a maximum pressure-at-inlet of 230 psig. Easily connect condensate lines via easy push-to-connect fittings.
The KCM includes a venting muffler, mounting hardware, and 5 ft outlet hose.
Be sure to choose the correct condensate handling method for your air system!
