How it Removes Condensate from Compressed Air Systems
The BVA Series is a heavy duty condensate or process drain consisting of a gear-motor operated ball valve. A drain cycle is initiated externally by signal from a timer, PLC, or simple push button. The signal energizes the gear motor to rotate the ball valve 180° from closed to open and back to a closed position. The drain cycle lasts for approximately 5-7 seconds during which condensate is drained and then returned to a closed, stand-by condition.
