Ingersoll Rand 54579248 Electronic Drain Valve

The Ingersoll Rand 54579248 is an electronic automatic drain valve designed for condensate management in compatible compressed air systems.

It is used to automatically discharge accumulated condensate from compressed air equipment and condensate collection points, helping reduce the need for frequent manual draining.

The 54579248 configuration is specified with a 110V/120V electrical supply, JIC-14 inlet, 3/32-inch orifice and 1/4-inch NPT outlet.

Before ordering, verify the existing part number, electrical specification and connection configuration to ensure the replacement valve is suitable for your application.

What Is the Ingersoll Rand 54579248?

54579248 is an electronic drain valve configuration for compatible Ingersoll Rand compressed air systems.

Compressed air systems naturally generate condensate as moisture is separated from compressed air during compression, cooling and air treatment. Condensate may accumulate in air receivers, aftercoolers, filters, dryers and other low points in the system.

An automatic electronic drain valve provides controlled condensate discharge without requiring an operator to manually open the drain at regular intervals.

How Does an Electronic Drain Valve Work?

An electronic drain valve operates according to a controlled electrical drain cycle.

A typical operating sequence is:

1. Condensate accumulates at the drainage point.

2. The electronic control activates the drain valve.

3. The internal valve opens the drainage path.

4. Accumulated condensate is discharged through the outlet.

5. The valve closes after the drain cycle.

Drain frequency and operating time can be adjusted according to the condensate load and operating conditions of the compressed air system.

Ingersoll Rand's electronic drain valve range includes adjustable time-on and time-off controls, a manual test function and a strainer/ball-valve arrangement for service and clogging protection.

Where Is the 54579248 Used?

The 54579248 electronic drain valve can be used in compatible compressed air applications where automatic condensate removal is required.

Air Compressors

Compressed air production can generate moisture that must be removed from the system. Automatic drainage helps manage condensate without relying entirely on manual operation.

Air Receiver Tanks

Condensate commonly collects at the bottom of receiver tanks. An automatic drain provides scheduled removal of accumulated liquid.

Aftercoolers

Cooling compressed air can cause water to condense. An appropriate automatic drain can remove the resulting condensate.

Compressed Air Filters

Filters can collect liquid contaminants as part of the air treatment process. Reliable condensate drainage helps maintain the intended operating condition.

Dryers and Drip Legs

Automatic drains may also be used at condensate collection points within compressed air treatment and distribution systems.

54579248 Compatibility

Do not assume that every Ingersoll Rand compressor uses the same electronic drain valve.

Ingersoll Rand offers multiple electronic drain valve models with different voltage ratings, inlet connections, outlet connections and orifice sizes. For example, the manufacturer's published specification lists 54579248 as a 110V/120V JIC-14 configuration, while 97339402 uses a 230V/240V configuration with the same JIC-14 and 3/32-inch orifice arrangement.

Before ordering 54579248, verify:

•Existing part number

•Electrical voltage

•Inlet connection

•Outlet connection

•Orifice size

•Compressor model

•Compressor serial number

How to Verify Your 54579248 Replacement

If you are replacing an existing electronic drain valve, we recommend the following checks.

Step 1: Check the Part Number

Look for the part number on the existing valve, equipment documentation or parts list.

The required part number should be: 54579248

Step 2: Check the Voltage

Verify that the electrical supply matches the 54579248 configuration:

110V / 120V

Step 3: Check the Connections

Verify:

Inlet: JIC-14

Outlet: 1/4" NPT

Step 4: Check the Orifice

The specified orifice for 54579248 is: 3/32 inch

Step 5: Send Us Your Equipment Information

If you cannot confirm the correct replacement, send us:

•Compressor model

•Serial number

•Existing drain valve photo

•Existing part number

•Connection photos

This information can help us verify the required configuration before quotation or shipment.

Common Electronic Drain Valve Problems

A failed or blocked automatic drain valve may produce several symptoms.

No Condensate Discharge

Possible causes may include a blocked orifice, contamination, electrical problems or a mechanical valve issue.

Continuous Air Discharge

If the valve does not close correctly, compressed air may continue to escape through the drain.

Condensate Accumulation

If condensate continues to accumulate, check the drain's power supply, control cycle, drainage path and valve condition.

Intermittent Operation

Irregular operation may be associated with electrical connections, timer settings, contamination or mechanical problems.

The system should be isolated and safely depressurized according to the equipment manufacturer's maintenance procedures before inspection or service.

Replacement Considerations

When replacing an electronic drain valve, matching the part number is important, but the complete installation should also be checked.

Verify:

Part Number → Voltage → Inlet → Outlet → Orifice → Application

Incorrect electrical or connection specifications can result in improper operation or an unsuitable installation.

Why Use an Automatic Electronic Drain Valve?

Automatic condensate drainage can provide several practical advantages:

•Reduces the need for frequent manual draining

•Helps remove accumulated condensate automatically

•Supports compressed-air moisture management

•Helps reduce moisture-related maintenance issues

•Provides controlled drainage intervals

•Can be installed at appropriate condensate collection points
