DEW POINT APPARATUS

CAT. NO. : SE/GEN/06A

_____________________________________________________________________________
When compressed air is dried in an air dryer, its manufacturer guarantees that the Dryer will give
air of a stated Atmospheric Dew Point. In Refrigeration Air Dryers, this is generally -20°C
while in Heatless & other Adsorption Dryers it is -40°C or below. It is essential that the dew
point of the air be checked on regular basis to ensure smooth running of the User devices.
Atmospheric Dew Point is defined as the temp. when air at atmospheric pressure gets saturated
and any moisture will condense out when the air is cooled to that temperature

The dew point apparatus is a simple device which cools the compressed air and also provides
visual indication of the dew point temperature. Dry air enters the glass body of the apparatus
through a valve of the bottom. It swirls around the brightly polished chrome plated tube and exits
to the atmosphere at the top. Ether and dry ice is filled in the tube and the mixture is stirred with
the help of a stirrer. The temperature of the tube is then measured by a low range temp.
Thermometer. The temp. of the tube is progressively lowered by periodic addition of dry ice to
the mixture. When the tube temp. reaches the dew point temp., moisture will condense on the
brightly polished surface, making it cloudy. The temp. recorded at that time is the dew point
temp. As a precautionary measure, the test should be carried out thrice for verification.

The dew point apparatus can also be used for measurements of dew point temp. In other gases
such as nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc.

 Note: -
1. Dry ice + Ether is required only at the time of test and is not supplied with the apparatus.
2. Flexible hose (2m long) with valve & fittings are supplied along with the apparatus.
3. 1/4"BSPF sampling connection is to be provided by Customer to connect the apparatus.

 Overall dimensions :120L x 210W x 360Lg.

 Weight : 2.5 Kg.
