The BEKO BEKOMAT KA02 PC0 A0 is a premium, fully electronic condensate drain designed for reliable and efficient condensate removal from compressed air systems, refrigeration dryers, and gas lines. As part of BEKO’s flagship BEKOMAT series, the KA02 model represents the pinnacle of energy-saving technology and maintenance-free operation for small to medium-duty applications.
Utilizing a sophisticated capacitance-based level sensing principle, it eliminates the inefficiencies and wear of mechanical floats or timed solenoid valves, ensuring condensate is discharged only when necessary. This results in zero compressed air loss, significant energy savings, and enhanced system reliability
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Advanced Capacitance Sensing: The heart of the BEKOMAT. The electronic probe accurately detects condensate level without any moving parts in the sensing chamber. Discharge is triggered only when needed, preventing wasteful compressed air loss.
-
Zero Compressed Air Loss: Unlike traditional timer-based or mechanical drains, the KA02 opens its valve solely to eject condensate, ensuring no valuable compressed air is purged. This translates directly into lower energy costs and reduced CO₂ emissions.
-
Extremely Low Power Consumption: Designed for efficiency, the electronic control unit consumes minimal power during operation.
-
High Reliability & Maintenance-Free: With no floats or levers to jam, and a robust stainless steel discharge valve, the KA02 offers exceptionally reliable operation with virtually no maintenance required under normal conditions.
-
Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant condensate collection chamber and components designed for long service life in industrial environments.
-
Simple Installation & Commissioning: Ready for easy integration into new or existing systems. The “PC0” variant typically indicates a standard unit without additional pre-filters or accessories.
-
Visual & Electrical Status Indicators: Provides clear operational status for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
-
A0 Version: The “A0” suffix often denotes a specific production series or a standard model configuration. It’s essential to verify this matches your requirements or spare part replacement needs.
