Winter Pond Aeration
-- Moisture in the air line can freeze.
The Koenders Windmill and Electric Aerators
have an optional "Freeze Control Unit" that has a pressure gage on it that senses an increase in resistance / pressure and releases Ethanol down the air line in freezing temperatures to unfreeze / de-ice the moisture in the air line.
OPTIONAL FREEZE CONTROL:
Due to moisture in the air all compressors can have problems with frozen air lines. The moisture condenses and freezes in the line which is very hard on the compressor.The Koenders Freeze Control is a self regulating detection system that helps eliminate line freeze up and ensures continuous operation by monitoring line pressure. When ice is detected in the line, ethanol alcohol is fed in to melt the ice. When the ice melts, line pressure drops, closing the valve and resuming operation. The system is available for the Koenders Windmill and the Electric Aerator. The Freeze Control unit consists of a 2 1/2 gal. capacity plastic alcohol tank, with a pressure release valve and a pressure gauge.
