Automatic filter drains for Compressed Air Systems

Filter drains that remove water from compressed air system

Neglecting to consistently drain condensate and contamination will result in endless headaches and costly downtime. Inadequate or forgotten draining dramatically wears on filtration systems causing them to become ineffective and damaging to critical equipment and processes. Tsunami offers a variety of drain styles to assure timely and effective draining for your facility.

Float Drain

AUTOMATIC DRAIN

This drain has a float in the device instead of on an orifice. How it works:

Liquid enters the drain
Float rises off of seat
The orifice is exposed when the float lifts, and the liquid exits through the stem

Pneumatic Drain

PILOT SIGNAL REQUIRED

A pneumatically actuated drain valve that efficiently removes liquids. How it works:

Liquid enters the drain
Intermittent pilot signal actuates
The liquid exits through an internal or external reservoir (dependent on housing size)

Electronic Drain

ELECTRICITY REQUIRED

A drain with a solenoid valve, electric timer, and on/off settings. How it works:

ON sets the amount of time the valve will be open to drain liquid
OFF is the time between openings when the liquid pools into the drain
Liquid exits when it switches to ON
