What
is a Dew point ?
|
| In
simple terms, a dew point describes how much water vapor
is present and tells us how cold the compressed air can get
before liquid water will form. To prevent water in your air system,
choose a dryer that produces a dew point temperature below the lowest
possible temperature that downstream air lines and equipment will be exposed
to.
