MOISTuRE IN COMPRESSED AIR
N
G Moisture in compressed air will form
into droplets as it comes from an air
L
compressor pump. When humidity
I
is high or when a compressor is in
S
continuous use for an extended
H
period of time, this moisture will
collect in the tank. When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this
water will be carried from the tank
through the hose, and out of the
gun as droplets mixed with the spray
material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will
cause water spots in a paint job,
especially when spraying other than
water based paints. If sandblasting, it
will cause the sand to cake and clog
the gun, rendering it ineffective.
A filter or air dryer in the air line,
located as near to the gun as
possible, will help eliminate moisture.
