4.9 Determination of the dew point for determining the optimum
operating temperature
1) Intake air
= 20 °C
Humidity
= 50%
Table value
= 8,6 g/m³ absolute humidity
Pressure dew point at 10 bar = approx. 51 °C
2) Intake air
= 40 C°
Humidity
= 90%
Table value
= 45,6 g/m³ absolute humidity
Pressure dew point at 10 bar = approx. 92 °C
Caution!
Observe the minimum oil and operating temperatures!
Should the operating temperature be below the dew point,
then condensation can form and become mixed with the oil.
The oil's lubricating properties are then degraded.
The consequences can be damage to the compressor through
to seizure of moving parts.
The operating temperature must be above the dew point!
