Emerson’s FRL series new drain options

Burns Controls is now offering Emerson’s new drain options for its FRL Product Series 651/652/653.  The release of these two additional drain options for this product line adds more configuration flexibility, aiding the transition from obsolete products and are now available to configure on Filter Products in the DPM.

Available Drain Options

1. (New) Pulse Drain: This is the same drain that is currently available on the FlexiBlok products, and now on the Series 651/652/653

• The diaphragm in this drain pulses when there is a pressure differential, such as a valve cycling or cylinder stroking downstream. This action flexes the diaphragm and allows the filter to discharge the entrapped water. This drain features an incorporated barbed fitting, which fits 3/16 ID tubing for easy discharge of liquid and contaminant.

2. (New) Automatic Drain – Normally Closed: When under pressure, this drain uses a float that initiates the bowl to discharge when the liquid rises.  When not under pressure, the drain is closed.

• Brass drain material
• Option to operate manually
• Applications include: smaller compressors, water accumulation, and non-cold climates

3. (Existing) Automatic Drain – Normally Open: When under pressure, this drain uses a float that initiates the bowl to discharge when the liquid rises. In addition, all fluid will discharge when the pressure drops below 22 psi.

• Brass drain material
• Option to operate manually
• Applications include: larger compressors, no water accumulation, and cold climates (prevent freezing issues)
