1.2 Air flow 
 
Air is drawn through the air filter into the compressor modules and is compressed.  Compressed air is 
discharged through the check valve and air cooler towards the air net. 
 
 
1.3 Cooling and condensate drain systems (Fig. 1.9) 
 
Each compressor element is cooled by a fan. The fan is mounted on the drive shaft of the compressor 
element.  The cooling air is blown over the compressor element and air cooler via a duct.   
 
For SF Multi two fans, driven by electric motors, expel warm air from the bodywork.   
 
SF Multi have a condensate trap, with an automatic condensate outlet (2) and a manual drain valve 
(1).
