How to advoid water condensation in compressed air piping

[QUOTE="jrmichler, post: 6237372, member: 638574"] All air has water in it. The dew point is a measure of the amount of water in the air. When air is compressed, the dew point is increased. When the dew point is higher than the pipe temperature, the excess water condenses to form liquid water in the pipes. The solution is to add a [B]compressed air dryer[/B] (search the term) immediately after the air compressor. This is one particularly good link: [URL]https://www.atlascopco.com/en-us/compressors/wiki/compressed-air-articles/choosing-a-dryer[/URL]. I see that Harbor Freight sells an air dryer. Home shop users can get away with a simple air filter near the end of the line, but compressed air systems should have an air dryer. [/QUOTE]
