5.2.7. Determining the pressure dew point

<BR>	The pressure dew point means the temperature to which the compressed air can be cooled without condensate precipitating. The pressure dew point depends on the final compression pressure. If the pressure drops, the pressure dew point drops with it. The following diagrams are used to determine the pressure dew point of the compressed air after compression: <BR><BR>
<BR>
Example 1 Intake air relative atmospheric humidity j = 70 % inlet temperature T=35°C Compressed air Final compression pressure pop=8 bar Þ The pressure dew point is approx. 73° C	Example 2 Intake air relative atmospheric humidity j = 80 % inlet temperature T=35°C Compressed air Final compression pressure pop=10 bar Þ The pressure dew point is approx. 82° C
