Any system that is likely to have condensate needs to have a monitored draining arrangement. I once saw a very inexpensive and yet very effective system in a small plant which used a time switch to do the blow-off enable. The air blast sound doubled as the end-of-shift announcement, and so it was monitored by the whole production floor. Any changes in the sound were immediately reported. A very effective and inexpensive monitoring scheme.
