Instruction book The liquid flows through refrigerant dryer/filter (206) to thermostatic expansion valve (204) via sight-glass (211). The refrigerant leaves the thermostatic expansion valve at evaporating pressure. The refrigerant enters evaporator (101b), where it withdraws heat from the compressed air by further evaporation at constant pressure.

Instruction book Collector Valve seat Outlet The condensate enters the Electronic Water Drain (EWD) via inlet (1) and accumulates in collector (6). A capacitive sensor (5) continuously measures the liquid level. The pilot valve (3) is activated as soon as the collector is filled up to a certain level. Diaphragm (4) opens outlet (8), discharging the condensate.
