The Castair RDDT115 is a 115-volt timer accessory for Castair RDD series refrigerated compressed air dryers. The T115 designation indicates this is a timer component operating on 115V power — the same voltage as the RDD series dryers themselves. Timer controls for refrigerated dryers manage automatic drain timing: they open the drain valve at set intervals to eject condensate from the dryer sump, providing a reliable timed drain function as an alternative or supplement to demand-based drain sensors.
Castair refrigerated dryers come standard with an automatic demand drain that only cycles when condensate is detected. The RDDT115 timer provides a fixed-interval drain option — useful when the demand drain sensor is being bypassed for testing, when the shop environment produces consistent high condensate volumes that benefit from predictable drain intervals, or as a backup drain control when the primary demand sensor is being serviced.
How Timer-Controlled Drains Work
- Fixed interval operation: The timer opens the drain valve on a set schedule — typically every few minutes for a brief period — regardless of whether condensate is present
- Adjustable timing: Most dryer timers allow adjustment of both the interval between drain cycles and the duration each drain opening
- Compressed air cost: Unlike demand drains, timer drains bleed a small amount of compressed air with each drain cycle — the interval setting should be optimized for your actual condensate rate to minimize waste
- 115V operation: Wires directly into the dryer's electrical system
