Abstract
A condensate drain for pressurized gas systems, having a condensate collecting chamber, which can be connected to the pressurized gas system via a condensate inflow and has a condensate outflow that can be closed by means of an electrically operable valve, at least one electronic fitting level gauge, with which the condensate filling level in the condensate collecting chamber can be detected, and an electronic control unit, with which the condensate filling level detected by means of the filling level gauge can be evaluated and the valve can be operated, where the condensate drain has at least one battery, which provides the power supply for at least the control unit, the fitting level gauge and the valve.
