ABSTRACT:
An air dryer device for a compressed air system of a vehicle includes a housing and a dryer mounted within the housing and containing a desiccant for drying compressed air from a compressor of the compressed air system. A drain valve is mounted within the housing and includes a valve body having a valve port and a valve seat. A hollow elongated control piston is mounted within the valve body for movement along an axis thereof. A valve element is mounted on the control piston and is normally urged into sealing engagement with the valve seat to close the valve port. The control piston is responsive to a pneumatic signal from an air governor of the compressed air system for being moved along its axis to bring the valve element out of sealing engagement with the valve seat to open the drain valve. An elongated heater member is mounted at one end on the valve body for generating heat. The heater member is received in an axial bore of the control piston. The other end of the heater member is disposed close to the valve element to transmit the heat of the heater member to the valve element and the valve seat.
