ProPure TWS Installation and operation instructions 4.4 Functional description 4.4.1 Water separation The compressed gas enters the inlet on the separator head [1] and passes into the water separator. A specially formed swirl insert [2] makes the compressed gas rotate quickly. The centrifugal forces generated press the condensate particles against the housing wall. Gravity causes the condensate particles to flow down into the collector chamber [3], from which they are drained.
Installation and operation instructions ProPure TWS 4.4.2 Condensate drainage through the float drain Float drains are mechanical automatic condensate drains whose closing mechanism is triggered by the buoyancy of a float body [1].

The float closes again when the condensate [1] drops below a certain level: A small amount of condensate remains in the container. Two different float drains are used to drain the condensate: •...
