The new ½" bsp gear driven ball valve is controlled by a 24 hour timer system that controls the closed and open times via a simple interface. Supply voltage is either 110 or 220 VAC. The 16 bar rated valve is perfect for use on refrigeration dryers, large inline air filters, air receivers and the draining of compressed air systems. This condensate drain valve is set to become a winner in the South African market.
The Artic 33½" bsp condensate drain valve is a gear driven ball valve controlled by a 24 hour timer system that actuates the closed and open timing.
The touch sensitive buttons along with a bright LED display makes the valve easy to set. The supply voltage can either be 110 or 220 VAC. The Artic 33 is housed in an IP 65 weatherproof casing. CE rated and competitively priced this condensate drain valve is set to become a winner on the South African market.
The 16 bar pressure rated valve is ideal for many applications such as:
• Medium and large refrigeration air dryers.
• Large capacity inline air filters.
• Air receivers.
For larger clients that want trouble-free draining of compressed air systems the Artic 33 is ideal as it does not require a pre strainer installed prior to the valve. The valve is also available as a simple control valve that can be triggered to open and close via a remote client side based timer. Three port versions of this valve are also available.
