Step 7: Plumb the Condensate Drain Line
The Nitrogen Generator will occasionally discharge a small amount of condensate water from the
coalescing filters inside the cabinet. It is recommended that the ¼” drain connection be plumbed to a floor
drain or building exterior. When plumbing to a drain is not feasible, an evaporative collection chamber
can be used.
The Nitrogen Generator includes an automatic draining function of the condensate water from the
coalescing filters inside the cabinet. The autodrain function is programmed from the factory to
momentarily drain upon initial start of a nitrogen generation cycle, momentarily drain upon each hour of
runtime of a nitrogen generation cycle, and momentarily drain at the completion of a nitrogen generation
cycle. (See section 6.b., HMI User Interface Information in the Maintenance Section for Nitrogen
Generator Autodrain Settings Screen if adjustments are needed to the autodrain function).
The air compressor will discharge a small amount of condensate water periodically from the air receiver
tank auto-drain. The condensate water discharge time and frequency are based on the settings of the
auto-drain. The auto-drain requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 1 phase unswitched power supply and can be
connected to the same power supply as the nitrogen generator. Ensure the auto-drain is connected and
the power supply is active.
Recommend: Set the discharge frequency (OFF Time) to twenty (20) minutes and the discharge time
(ON Time) to ten (10) seconds. Adjust as necessary.
It is recommended that the ¼” drain connection be plumbed to a floor drain or building
exterior. When plumbing to a drain is not feasible an evaporative collection chamber can
be used.
Step 8: Connect the Air Compressor Running Monitor Contacts
The nitrogen generator and air compressor are designed to run for up to two (2) hours at a time when
filling all the systems with 3-5 psig (.2-.3 bar) of high-purity nitrogen. To ensure the air compressor does
not operate in excess of the anticipated run-time of the nitrogen generator and air compressor, the air
compressor running can be monitored through the nitrogen generator. All wiring must be in accordance
with manufacturer’s published instructions and in accordance with the applicable national and/or local
codes (i.e., NFPA 70).
