Abstract:
Systems and methods of the invention relate to removing fluid from a compressor to mitigate condensation accumulated for a compressor. A controller can be configured to actuate a drain valve coupled to an aftercooler of a compressor and actuate a check valve to isolate air pressure of the aftercooler from a reservoir of the compressor. Through control of the drain valve of the aftercooler and the check valve, the controller removes fluid from the aftercooler to facitliate thermal management of a compressor.
