The BEKOMAT 4 serves to discharge
condensate at places with a temporary
negative pressure (< bar (abs) / 4
psi) and where backward suction of the
condensate must be prevented. During
negative pressure conditions, conden-
sate will not be discharged, this possibly
resulting in a backup. Subsequent to a
rise in pressure to approx. > .8 bar (abs)
(6 psi), condensate will be discharged
again and a possible backup reduced due
to a special function.
A centrifugal compressor which is able
to take up a no-load mode (vacuum) in
individual stages represents a typical field
of application.

Functionnement • Funcionamento
The condensate flows through the feed
line (1) into the BEKOMAT unit and ac-
cumulates in the container (2). A capaci-
tive sensor (3) continuously registers the
liquid level and passes a signal to the
electronic control as soon as the con-
tainer is filled.
The pilot valve (4) is activated immedi-
ately and the diaphragm (5) opens the
discharge pipe via the check valve (6) in
order to discharge the condensate.
In the case of negative pressure (<
bar (abs) / 4 psi) the check valve (6)
shuts and prevents the condensate from
flowing back.
The pressure difference at the check
valve is < 0. bar (.45 psi).
When the BEKOMAT is empty, the
discharge pipe will be closed tight, in
sufficient time before any unnecessary
losses in pressure may arise.
