Description
The Air-Saver-LS is a motorised ball valve fitted after the air receiver to interrupt downstream compressed-air supply during unattended periods. Operation is controlled by an external switch contact, typically wired to the factory lighting circuit, so the valve closes when the site shuts down. With the line isolated, leakage at joints, fittings and tools no longer bleeds pressure overnight and the compressor does not cycle to replace lost air. The unit uses a nickel-plated brass valve body with a stainless steel ball driven by a sealed actuator, and incorporates a slow-open characteristic to prevent water hammer when the line is repressurised.
