There has been much talk about needing clean dry air for an Air/Plasma system to operate properly & get optimum consumable life.
I have a apx. 15 gal. chamber (long but small diameter) buried underground Temperature remains about 56 deg F. That works very well as a water condensing chamber. I get very little condensate in my shop air lines. The standard in line water traps down stream from my big chamber rarely catch additional moistuer.
I guess my question is.
How dry is dry enough?
Is there affordable equipment, meter etc. to measure in line moisture?
What about the oil that is always present in compressed air?
Do these standard means of water trapping get the oil too?
For discussion purposes, assume 40 hrs per week run time of a plasma table.
running in an area that humidity levels are pretty high through all spring through fall months.
