Water in the Compressed Air System
20 October 2020
If you have water in your compressed air system, then you've come to the right place. This happens almost everywhere but can have serious consequences for your compressed air system and the quality of the end product. In the following section you can read how water can get into your compressed air system.
Causes of Water in Your Compressed Air System
When the vent is compressed, condensation forms. The following factors determine the amount of water:
- Admission requirements
- Ambient air quality
The compressed air contains less water when the pressure is higher and the easier it is to dry. Think of a sponge that is soaked with water; the more it is squeezed, the less water it contains.
