BEKO condensate drain BEKOMAT® 13, 13CO, 13 CO PN 50 how can you prevent condensate damage to your compressed air system whilst saving energy and adapted to the amount of condensate without loss of compressed air These are the proven strength of a bekomat but exactly how does it work Adapted to the amount of condensate and without compressed air loss Condensate flows in via the feed line whilst air pressure from the vent pipe keeps the membrane closed from above a capacitive sensor constantly monitors the condensate. When the condensate reaches a preset level the control unit immediately initiates the draining of the condensate. Once again as the condensate flows in the membrane remains closed due to system pressure it's larger upper surface provides the necessary closing force on the valve seat and seals it tightly when the bekomat is full the solenoid valve is activated and the space above the membrane is vented. Simultaneously the pressure on the underside increases allowing the condensate to flow into the outlet line. in actual operation the solenoid valve switches so quickly that no valuable compressed air escapes. The bekomat® drains the condensate into the owamat Oil water separator mounted downstream adapted to the amount of condensate and without compressed air loss. Cost-effective and reliable: BEKOMAT® standard units The standard design is made in corrosion-resistant aluminium, which makes the BEKOMAT® particularly reliable and robust.
