The AER100 and its smaller brother the AER50, have been designed to reliably discharge oily condensates and emulsions from all types of compressed air systems. The biggest headache with compressed air has been getting the condensate out of the system before it reaches pneumatically operated equipment. Float type drains clog up and stick. resulting in production downtime due to spoilage or maintenance. This can be a particular problem when a system contains high efficiency compressed air filters which in themselves rely upon internal float drains.
The AER50 is a fully self contained timer and solenoid valve assembly. designed to replace float drains used in all types of compressed air filters ranging from 1/4" up to 3" connections. The brass valve body has Rp 1/8 (1/8" BSP) female connection ports and the timer has a factory preset vent time of 2 seconds, which cannot be adjusted. The time interval between each vent cycle is user adjustable from 1 minute to 120 minutes by simply turning a small knob. This allows each drain to be 'fine tuned' to match the performance of the respective filter that it has been fitted to.
The AER50 is fitted to all Filterworld compressed air systems up to 3" connection.
The larger AER100 is a fully self contained twin-timer and solenoid valve assembly designed for use in a variety of differing compressed air applications. Typically these condensate drains are fitted to aftercoolers. centrifugal separators, receivers, dryers, drain legs and very large filters.
The AER100 is fitted to all Filterworld complete filtration systems from 4" connection up to 12" connection.
The brass valve body has Rp 3/8 (3/8" BSP) female connection ports and the timer has two control knobs allowing an almost infinite permutation of settings.
These low-cost drains are supplied fully complete and ready to use. The coils are either 110v or 240v, you must specify the required voltage at time of order. For problem applications we can supply heavy duty coils, or coils suitable for non-standard voltage supplies.
Two amazingly economical automatic condensate drains which are available for the end user and also designed for resale within the trade. The AER50 is a smaller version of the AER100, and it only has a single timer. The AER100 has two timers which allows the vent time and also the interval between the vent time to be pre-programmed.
The AER50 is designed to be fitted to filters and the like. It has a 1/8" BSP connection and the timer has been factory pre-set so that the vent is a constant 2 seconds. However the interval between each vent cycle can be set by the user, between 1 second and 120 seconds.
The AER100 is a multipurpose drain with a 3/8" connection. The unit can be fitted to almost any type of compressed air product. It has two timers, one will adjust the length of the actual vent time, and the other will adjust the interval between each vent cycle. This allows the unit to have a much greater degree of flexibility and makes it most suitable for use in conjunction with air receivers, dryers, aftercoolers and the like.
