Cambs Compressors have created an innovative unit which generates ‘ultra dry air’ and combines with sensors to manage the moisture level and protects the integrity of the air supply.
Regulates a dew point in excess of -70C for a quality class 1
Dew point temperature is a measure of how much water vapour there is in a gas. Water has the property of being able to exist as a liquid, solid, or gas under a wide range of conditions. Increasing the pressure of a gas increases the dew point temperature of the gas. The importance of dew point temperature in compressed air depends on the intended use of it. Dew point temperatures in compressed air range from ambient down to -80 °C (-112 °F), sometimes lower in special cases. Compressor systems without air drying capability tend to produce compressed air that is saturated at ambient temperature.

Why is dew point so important in high tech applications?
Letting dew point levels go unchecked can lead to condensation and ultimately the potential for bacterial formation and other forms of contamination. High-tech, pharma and medical sectors typically operate with a controlled atmosphere in order to eliminate airborne contaminants and any sources of error that may interfere with testing. Whether using compressed air within a manufacturing process or operating equipment, the integrity of the air quality and dew point is essential.
