Abstract
The dew points of water vapor and acid gases of gases are the
temperature, at a given pressure, at which water vapor and any
gaseous acid in the combustion product gases start to condense
into liquid state (water or acid solutions).
This paper presents water vapor and acid gases dew point
prediction equations.

Introduction
The dew points of water vapor and acid gases of gases are the
temperature, at a given pressure, at which water vapor and any
gaseous acid in the gases start to condense into liquid state
(water or acid solutions).[Huijbregts, et.al., 2004][ Lewandowski,
2000][Niessen, 2002]
the resulting water and acids condensed from the gas may cause
serious corrosion problems for the ducting and equipment used in
transferring, heat recovery, cooling and discharging the gases.
Even with only water vapor presence in the gases, when the
vapor pressure of water vapor in the gases is in equilibrium with
the saturation vapor pressure of water at that temperature, water
vapor will condense. This is the dew point of water vapor.
Sometimes, the acid dew point of the gases may be much higher
than the dew point of water vapor alone without acid gases. For
example, a gas with 10 volume % water vapor and containing no
acid gases has a water vapor dew point of about 45.6 °C. The
same gas with only 0.3 volume % sulfur trioxide will have a
sulfuric acid dew point of about 150 °C. In this case, the acid gas
is condensed to form fuming acid.
