• Operating a rotary screw or reciprocating air
  compressor will produce water vapor as a
  by-product. Condensing into liquid,
  the vapor sinks to the air tank's bottom. A drain
  valve manufacturers aids in removing the
  gathered water before it seriously harms the
  compressor and causes expensive repairs or
  replacement. ?
• What is the drain valve? ?
• A condensate drain valve is a tiny component that
  is normally found at the base of an air receiver
  on a compressor. Water either flows out of or
  stays inside the compressor tank depending on
  whether the air compressor drain valve is open or
  closed. ?
• Although the reservoir tank is the usual location
  for the drain valve installation, it can also
  help dry out other compressor parts
  and associated items. With compressor filters,
  air dryers, drip legs, air/water separators, and
  pretty much everywhere else condensate is a
  problem, you can use an air compressor valve
  extender. ?

What's the purpose of a drain valve? ?

• ?Air has a significant capacity to store
  water vapour in its unaltered state. The capacity
  to hold vapour is considerably decreased by the
  process of making compressed air. Water molecules
  are compelled to group together and
  create condensation during the compression
  process. The result is like an internal
  downpour. ?
• Drain valve manufacturers carry a vital task of
  permitting extra water vapour to escape into the
  atmosphere out. The removal of condensation
  prevents corrosion, which can eventually harm
  the compressor and reduce its lifespan. The drain
  valve lessens wear on tools and equipment
  operated by the compressor unit by removing water
  from the compressed air system. ?

Types of drain valves-?

• Among the many varieties of air compressor drain
  valves are, for instance?
• Float-operated This valve opens to let water
  enter a unique housing. A float activates the
  drain's opening when the water level inside
  the tank reaches a specific level, allowing the
  extra water to flow away.?
• Timer-controlled A timer-controlled valve
  operates at predetermined times, opening and
  closing. For highly controlled working
  conditions, this kind of technology is ideal.?
• Zero-loss This drains valve has a sensor probe
  that keeps track of water build-up inside the
  tank. The search sends a signal to a
  solenoid when the water reaches a particular
  level. The drain then opens, but the water flow
  ceases before compressed air is released.?

• How to use a drain valve- ?
• Each of the aforementioned drain valve types
  operates automatically, causing little to no
  operator involvement. The main challenge is
  picking a model that works with your hardware
  and satisfies your operating needs. ?
• A float-operated unit, for instance, makes sense
  if your compressor isn't close to an electrical
  source. If you use your compressor regularly, a
  timer-controlled version is probably your best
  bet. If you're worried about minimizing compressed
  air loss during draining, a zero-loss air
  compressor drain valve works well. ?
