Question
P1 = 1 atm P2 = 10 atm T= 10 degrees F Need a machine to compress air, what should the fluid be water or air? P1 = 1 atm P2 = 10 atm T= 10 degrees F Need a machine to compress air, what should the fluid be water or air?Explanation / Answer
water
All atmospheric air contains some water vapor, which will begin to condense into liquid water in the compressed air or gas system when the air or gas cools past the saturation point, i.e., the point where it can hold no more water vapor. The temperature at which this happens is known as the dew point. This dew point becomes all-important in determining how much compressed air drying is needed.
The increased use of compressed air and the development over the years of many new and more sophisticated devices and controls has increased the need for clean dry air. Hence, drying technology advanced, and dryers came into general use. CAGI and their Air Drying & Filtration Section remain committed to educate users on this topic
