Top 10 common problems in compressed air systems without proper humidity control

1. Corrosion and rust

2. Contamination of the final product

3. Increased operating costs

4. Pneumatic control device icing

5. The efficiency of pneumatic tools is reduced

6. Damaged air dryer and filter

7. Microbial growth

8. Quality control issues

9. Safety hazards

10. Water hammer

Corrosion issues

1. General industrial applications: A dew point of +3°C to +10°C (37°F to 50°F) is usually sufficient to prevent corrosion.

2. Vulnerable or high-quality applications: The dew point in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, or electronics industries is typically -40°C (-40°F) or even lower.

3. Outdoor tubing in cold climates: The dew point should be well below the coldest ambient temperature possible. The dew point is generally as low as -40°C to -70°C (-40°F to -94°F).

Final product quality issues

Contamination, product degradation and microbial growth

Chemical reactions and adhesion problems

Packaging issues

Failure of electronic equipment

Powder agglomeration.

Defects in metalwork

Key benefits of a controlled drying process

1. Efficient drying

2. Reduce energy costs

3. Extend the service life of the dryer

4. Good workmanship quality

5. Improve operational certainty and reduce passive maintenance

Why is it recommended to use a hand-held meter for spot checks?

As a calibration reference for fixed installation instruments

Regular spot checks

How to connect a handheld meter to the system:

Install quick couplings in the air line

It can be quickly connected and measured at any time without downtime

Make sure the quick connect point is very close to the installed meter

The above is a quote from the Vaisala Humidity Workshop.

If you have a budget or have a demanding need for low temperature dew point accuracy, it is recommended to use the Vaisala Indigo80 handheld indicator and choose the right probe and accessories for the scene. If you only need to make a simple measurement, understand the current dew point situation and make some adjustments, you can choose the cost-effective HD600 product.
