    How to calculate atmospheric dewpoint of compressed air?



    Ambient air at 35 degree C is compressed to 3.5 bar(g). It is cooled to 12 Deg C by passing throug a heat exchanger using chilled water at 8 degree C. How to calculate the atmosphric dewpoint of this compressed air at outlet of heat exchanger?

    I am going to ASSUME ALL CONDENSER WATER AVAILABLE. and Use this
    .engineeringtoolbox.com/water-content-compressed-air-d_1275.html[/url]
    air out 100% HR
    and this to calculate load of air.

    I think you will need the Ph chart for compressed air where you can get all air properties like , pressure, enterpy, entropy, DbT,WbT, and dew points

    for starters, you will need to know the mositure content of the 35C air that is getting drawn into the compressor

    odds are if you are anywhere humid, at 12C the air will be saturated
    Take the V out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC job

    the dewpoint will be close to 8 degrees as this is your water temp , however when changing the pressure it will be lowered.
    obviously when pressure is 2 bars the water content is same but the RH will be twice of outside.
    When pressure is higher some water will condense and in your cooler a lot of water will condense, when after cooler you use a pressure controller it will be good.
    i use starting air of 25 bar for instrument air.
