The Purpose of Drain Valves
Water vapor is a byproduct of operating either a rotary screw or reciprocating air compressor. The vapor condenses into liquid and falls to the bottom of the air tank. A drain valve helps to remove the accumulated water before it causes significant damage to the compressor that requires extensive repairs or replacement.
What Is the Drain Valve?
A condensate drain valve is a small device typically located at the bottom of a compressor’s air receiver. Whether the air compressor drain valve is open or closed determines if water flows out of or remains inside the compressor tank.
While the reservoir tank is the typical drain valve installation point, it can also help remove moisture from other compressor components and related products. You can use an air compressor valve extension with compressor filters, air dryers, drip legs, air/water separators and virtually anywhere else condensate is an issue.
What’s the Purpose of a Drain Valve?
In its natural state, air can hold a substantial amount of water vapor. The function of creating compressed air significantly reduces the vapor-holding capacity. The compression process forces water molecules to clump together and form condensation. The effect is similar to a rainstorm inside the tank.
A drain valve performs the critical function of allowing excess water vapor to escape into the atmosphere. The removal of condensation helps prevent the formation of corrosion that will eventually damage the compressor and shorten its lifespan. By eliminating water from the compressed air system, the drain valve also reduces wear on tools and equipment powered by the compressor unit.
