Don’t Let Summer Humidity Wreck Your Compressed Air System

As summer heat and humidity rise, your compressed air system faces a hidden threat: moisture. Warm air holds more water vapor, and when compressed, that moisture turns into liquid that can damage tools, corrode lines, and compromise product quality.

Why Clean, Dry Air Is Critical in Summer

Moisture, oil, and dirt are always present in ambient air - but summer makes it worse. Without proper air treatment, summer humidity can:

• Flood your lines with condensation
• Cause rust and scale in pipes
• Shorten the life of pneumatic tools
• Ruin paint jobs and other sensitive processes

Summer-Proof Your Air Supply

Now’s the time to check your air treatment setup. Make sure your system includes:

• Dryers – To remove moisture and decrease your system pressure dew point
• Filters – To catch oil and other fine particles
• Drains – To remove condensate from your air supply
• Condensate Management – To appropriately remove oil from your collected condensate

Routine maintenance and filter replacements are especially important in the summer months when air systems are under peak stress.

Stay Ahead of Summer Issues

Clean, dry air isn’t just good practice - it’s essential in summer. Protect your equipment, your product, and your bottom line by making sure your compressed air system is ready for the heat.
