Air & Gas Traps








TLV Air & Gas Traps

TLV offers a variety of air and gas traps for use with compressed air, inert and hazardous gas systems. TLV air traps automatically remove water or condensate from compressed air systems in process plants. Some of the benefits to using air traps include:
   

Prevent damage to the driving parts of pneumatic tools or actuators

Prevent failure of pneumatic controls and instrumentation on control panels


Eliminate rust and contamination problems on equipment cleaned with compresses air that contains moisture – especially important for precision instrumentation and machinery

Longer service life of pneumatic tools like riveters, wrenches and grinders

Prevent uneven painting when using a spray gun that uses compressed air
   

TLV air traps fall into two general categories:

   
  Pipe-End Use Type – this type is installed at a gravity drain point and discharges condensate collected in air mains or receivers
 
In-Line Use Type – this type is installed in-line with air flow and separates condensate from compressed air and discharges it while delivering dry air
