Fig. 5.23: Cyclone separator | After coming out of the compressor, the compressed air contains water in the form of steam and also droplets of condensate. These droplets are formed during the compression process because the air is no longer able to accommodate it when its volume is reduced.
This water normally deposits in the storage tank as the compressed air become more inert. From there the condensate is drained off.
