WATER TRAP (OPTION)
Installation of water trap
Water trap is always located between
pressure regulater and main air tank.
When the air dryer is installed, and if
the pressure regulator is not used, at
that case the water trap should be
installed before air dryer.
The function of water trap
As shown at the above drawing, the
water trap condensate the moisture
and lubricant mixed at the com-
pressed air from the air compressor.
The vapor molecules are condensat-
ed while they pass out the 12–φ5
holes in the closed plate of water
trap, and they can be drained through
the drain cock at the bottom of water
trap.
The effect of condensation could be
increased when the antifreeze pump
is used before the water trap.
Because, the alcohol molecule draw
the water molecules and make water
drops easily.
Every driver should pull the drain
cock to drain off the condensates
in the water trap before and after
you drive, especially below the
temperature of freezing point.
