What is Dew Point and Why it Matters in Compressed Air Systems?

Moisture in compressed air can silently harm equipment, reduce efficiency, and increase maintenance costs. The key factor that determines whether condensation forms inside a system is the dew point — the temperature at which water vapor turns into liquid.

In compressed air applications, understanding pressure dew point is crucial. As air cools in pipelines and equipment, excess moisture can lead to corrosion, pneumatic issues, and product quality problems.

This blog explains dew point in simple terms, its role in compressed air systems, and how selecting the correct drying level supports reliable and efficient plant operation.
