| The quality of compressed air must always remain the same if the surrounding conditions are unchanged. i.e., the pressure dew point of the compressed air must be 3°C even on a humid Summer day with an air temperature of 40° C and 90 % atmospheric humidity.
FAD  1 = 2720 m³/h
Inlet pressure p1 = 1 barabs
Inlet temperature T1 = 40°C
Relative humidity j1 = 90 %
Pressure dew point T3 = 2°C
Under these conditions the quality of compressed air remains constant but the quantity of condensate is much higher.
Condensate quantity qC = 122,6 l/h
With 3-shift operation working at 100 % efficiency the compressor is running 24 hrs. per day. This means, with the basic assumptions unchanged:
Condensate quantity qCD = 2943,3 l/D
The following quantity of condensate will then occur in one year:
Condensate quantity qCY = 107135 l/Y
