5.2.8. Pressure dew point after removal of pressure

<BR>	When compressed air relaxes (pressure released) the pressure dew point drops. The following table is used to determine the new pressure dew point and atmospheric dew point after relaxation:<BR><BR>
<BR>
Example 1 Compressed air pabs= 35 bar air pressure Pressure dew point 10°C relaxed compressed air pabs= 4 bar air pressure Þ The new pressure dew point is approx. -22°C	Example 2 Compressed air pabs= 7 bar air pressure Pressure dew point 20°C relaxed compressed air atmospheric air pressure pabs = 1 bar Þ The atmospheric dew point is approx. -8°C
