How Do I Control Moisture Contamination in my Compressed Air Supply?

If the downstream process is contaminated with moisture, what is the impact?

Moisture Contamination in Compressed Air Supply

Compressed air is a vital part of the engineer’s tool kit but it has its challenges. It is an unavoidable truth that the presence of moisture in compressed air can limit its performance. Moisture is inherently contained in all air and, when air is compressed, the partial pressure of the water vapor rises. This has the knock-on effect of increasing the dew point. It is important to remember that compressed air is subject to the same properties as the air we breathe: for example, the humid air that is heavy with moisture on a hot summer's day.
