Introduction to Compressed Air and Condensate Technology
Compressed air is a crucial energy source in industrial production due to its local production capability, easy storage, and high energy density. However, it contains contaminants and moisture that require treatment to prevent damage to systems and products.
Compressed Air Treatment
The treatment process is essential for ensuring the purity of compressed air, which is vital for applications in medical and industrial fields. It involves multiple stages to remove contaminants, thereby preventing system damage and environmental harm.
Condensate Technology
Condensate technology plays a key role in the treatment chain, focusing on the discharge and treatment of condensate. The discharge process removes liquid contaminants, while the treatment process cleans the condensate for safe disposal into wastewater systems.
Condensate Production and Treatment
Condensate, produced during cooling and separation processes, contains contaminants like dust, oil, and rust. It must be treated before disposal to comply with environmental regulations, involving the separation of contaminants from water for safe discharge.
Condensate Discharge Systems
Various systems, including manual, automatic, and electronic level-controlled drains, are used for condensate discharge. These systems ensure efficient and loss-free discharge, with electronic systems offering advanced monitoring and alarm functions.
Oil/Water Separators
Oil/water separators use a multi-chamber system to reduce contamination in condensate, allowing safe discharge into wastewater systems without requiring energy, relying on gravity for oil-water separation.
Advanced Features of Condensate Drains
Modern condensate drains, such as the CDE-L series, feature magnetic-core level measurement, user communication through LEDs, integrated dirt screens, and reliable alarm functions, enhancing operational reliability and maintenance ease.
Conclusion
Effective condensate technology is vital for maintaining the efficiency and safety of compressed air systems, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and protecting both equipment and the environment.
Oil/Water Separators Overview
The document outlines three models of oil/water separators: DRUKOSEP, DRUKOMAT, and DRUKOMAT PLUS, each designed for specific performance ranges. DRUKOSEP handles up to 720 m³/h with a compact 3-stage filter, DRUKOMAT for up to 4200 m³/h with large sedimentation stages, and DRUKOMAT PLUS for up to 6000 m³/h with an additional oil storage filter.
Energy Efficiency and Accessories
These separators do not require electrical energy, reducing operational costs. They include a sample valve, sample set, and documentation compartment, with optional extras like level switches and heating systems for cold environments.
Certification and Cost-Effectiveness
Certified by Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DiBt), these separators do not need further EU approvals, offering a cost-effective solution for condensate treatment by minimizing investment and maintenance costs.
Automatic Condensate Drains
The CDF series provides automatic, loss-free condensate discharge up to 16 bar, with models like CDF130NO and CDF140NC offering different capacities and installation options. The CDE-L series offers electronically controlled drains with features like magnetic-core level measurement and integrated dirt screens.
High-Pressure Applications
The CDE-T series is designed for high-pressure applications up to 350 bar, featuring electronic control systems for automatic discharge and stainless steel valves for pressures above 100 bar.
Technical Data and Maintenance
Technical specifications are provided for each model, including volume flow rates, discharge quantities, and dimensions. Regular maintenance is required for filters, with SEWAPAC maintenance packages available for replacements.

FST condensate-2

What is …? Compressed air is energy in the form of compressed ambient air. Compressed air is permanently trying to expand back to atmospheric pressure and thus performs work during the expansion process. Besides electrical energy compressed air is one of the most important forms of power for industrial production processes and is widely used thanks to numerous advantages: · Can be produced locally and on demand · Can be stored easily and without losses · Can be transported easily · High amount of energy per volume · Can be easily converted to other forms of energy, e.g. blast air, fast linear...

Condensate drains Oil/water separators Manual condensate drains are simple valves that can be manually operated. Today, these valves are only used for venting pressure housings or for manual control at places in the system at which no condensate occurs. The terms manual valve and manual condensate drain have the same meaning. To avoid injury a manual condensate drain valve should be opened slowly to avoid the sudden release of stored energy in the form of compressed air. Automatic condensate drains discharge the condensate automatically and without loss of compressed air. A floating body rises...

The advantages at a glance Electronic level-controlled condensate drains CDE-L Magnetic-core level measurement Contact-free and non-wearing magnetic-core level measurement of the CDE-L series provides specified switching points using fixed magnetic sensors. Independent of the condensate type (oil or water) or the operating pressure the condensate is always discharged at the maximum and minimum levels. The collecting chamber of the condensate drain is therefore optimally used and the number of valve cycles reduced. Calibration is not required. Different condensates do not require different condensate...
