How can a Drain-All be used as an instrument to gather data on condensation in a compressed air system in order to determine proper system equipment operation?
With the use of Drain-All’s optional cycle counters (both pneumatic and electronic are available), a Drain-All can provide accurate data on the amount of liquid that a piece of equipment in compressed air system generates. This is very useful when buying new compressed air system equipment because a Drain-All with a cycle counter is a benchmarking instrument. Benchmark the current equipment condensate production before it is replaced with the new equipment and be able to compare condensate production before and after the installation of new equipment. Once installed, a Drain-All with a cycle counter becomes a real-time trend analysis tool. Since a Drain-All discharges the same amount of liquid on every cycle (varies with model), knowing the number of discharge cycles over a specific period of time under specific temperature and humidity conditions provides the ability to track liquid production and chart it. This benchmarking can be correlated to ongoing changes in ambient temperature
