While the ‘too much’ point for water in a compressed air system varies according to its application, we all know the effects of that water in the system. It can collect in your pipes and equipment where it can cause rust and require premature replacement of the various system components. Additional leaks increase running costs (A single leak may cost you $2,000 per year). Finally water in air means water in your tools damaging them or you end up with air that doesn’t meet compliance standards.
Humidity – The bane of air compressors and compressed air systems.
We all know air has water in it – they tell us how much on the news every night when they report humidity. In Atlanta we see an average relative humidity of 82% in the morning and 52% in the afternoon. {https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Georgia/humidity-annual.php}
Thank goodness for air conditioning, right? The point is there is a lot of water in the air.
