3.3 Condensate Collector
During compression the water content of the air is also compressed. The resulting water is removed after
each compression stage and is collected through the automatic condensate drain system.
This water, additionally, has a small oil content. The separation of oil and water is not possible through
simple methods; therefore the condensate has to be completely removed. It is most practical to collect this
condensate in special containers and dispose of it entirely.
For these compressor units a metal housing and tank assembly is used. A float level switch is also
included. The condensate is drained from the tank assembly by the manual drain valve into a separate
container for proper disposal.
