9.12 Maintenance activities - Automatic condensate drain
9.12.1 Check function of the automatic condensate drain
WARNING
 
Danger of injury for compressed gas escaping!
Wear protective goggles and personal ear defenders.
CAUTION
 
Danger of burns!
Even after switching off the unit, pressure lines, heat exchangers, compressors,
condensate valves, oil and possibly cooling water can be at high temperatures.
There is a danger of burns if they are touched!
Wear appropriate personal protection equipment or gloves.
 
CAUTION
 
Danger of poisoning!
Condensate is toxic.
Condensate must not be swallowed.
Do not breathe condensate in. Ensure adequate air exchange.
1.
After a water removal operation has been carried out by the automatic con-
densate drain, open all the condensate drain cocks of the individual filters one
after the other.
Ä
If almost no condensate is emerging, it means that the automatic conden-
sate drain is working properly.
Is a lot of condensate emerging?
The automatic condensate drain or one of the condensate drain valves is not work-
ing properly.
Find the fault and eliminate it.
2.
In case of units with a 40-litre condensate vessel: Clean the float switch, in
order to prevent it from sticking on account of oil residues.
