Bauer POSEIDON PE 200-TB - Fault Finding in Automatic Condensate Drain

8.1.3 Fault finding in automatic condensate drain
Description Cause Rectification
Inadequate water removal or
much condensate coming out
(>40 ml at function check)
Opening time or cycle time of
solenoid valve set incorrectly
check the set opening time or
cycle time at the timer and
have it adjusted if necessary
Solenoid valve does not open
fully
Check solenoid valve, clean
and replace if necessary
Solenoid valve does not open;
solenoid valve is defective
Check solenoid valve and re-
place if necessary
Solenoid valve does not open;
continuous voltage at the sol-
enoid valve
Check electrical control sys-
tem and timer
Only a small amount of air/
condensate comes out during
function check
Condensate valve/ sieve in-
sert contaminated
Dismantle condensate valve,
remove sieve insert, disman-
tle and clean the components
or replace them
The operating pressure is not
achieved or the condensate
valve is dripping
Solenoid valve leaking, pilot
pressure greater than 15 bar,
valve seat defective
Remove condensate valve,
dismantle and clean; replace
valve seat
Solenoid valve leaking, pilot
pressure greater than 15 bar,
valve piston moves with diffi-
culty
Remove the condensate
valve, dismantle and clean;
check ease of movement of
the piston in the valve body
after cleaning, replace piston
if necessary
Solenoid valve leaking, pilot
pressure greater than 15 bar,
valve piston surface damaged
Replace valve piston
Solenoid valve leaking, sole-
noid valve contaminated
Clean solenoid valve and re-
place if necessary
Solenoid valve leaking, sole-
noid valve seat is damaged
Replace solenoid valve
Solenoid valve does not close,
solenoid valve is defective
Replace solenoid valve
Solenoid valve does not close,
solenoid valve not getting
power
Check power supply and re-
establish it if necessary
Condensate valve/ solenoid
valve hose is leaking
Check the hose; check cor-
rect seating of the hose in the
connections; replace hose
and/ or plug connections if
necessary
