Level Actuated, Pneumatically Operated
Hankison® Trip-L-Trap condensate drains automatically discharge water, oil, and oil/water emulsions from separators, receiver tanks, dryers, filters, and drip legs. Installing Hankison automatic condensate drains reduces operating costs by saving man hours and air wasted through open ports and downtime caused by liquid flooded systems.
Reliable Operation
- Unlike simple float operated drains, the Trip-L-Trap features an air powered piston for positive opening and closing of the discharge port
- Large discharge port prevents clogging
- Only two moving parts
- Operating mechanism protected from contaminants by a baffle
- Stainless steel floats won’t lose buoyancy like porous floats
- Magnetic action
- Allows large amounts of condensate to be collected between operations
- Prevents external vibrations from causing unnecessary discharges
- Resilient pilot valve seat won’t leak
- Standard models have stainless steel mechanisms; all stainless steel models available
- A skim tube ensures that oil slicks are discharged first
- Impervious to synthetic lubricants
- Rebuildable…repair parts kit available
- Every drain inspected and performance tested
Economical – no wasted compressed air
- Level actuated…operates on demand… discharges only when necessary
- Discharge port closes before any compressed air is lost
- Soft seated discharge port assures tight closures
- Air pressure in housing creates a positive seal…prevents air loss between operations
