1-16 What is the pressure dew point?

Wet air compression increases water vapor density and temp. Cooling raises relative humidity, reaching 100% at the "pressure dew point," causing water droplets to form.
Case Details

Answer: When wet air is compressed, the water vapor density increases and the temperature also rises. When the compressed air is cooled, the relative humidity increases. When the temperature continues to drop to a relative humidity of 100%, water droplets will precipitate from the compressed air. The temperature at this time is the "pressure dew point" of the compressed air.
