Water originates from the air, as there is always moisture present in the atmosphere—commonly referred to as humidity. When air is compressed, the moisture within it can become supersaturated, causing the water vapor to condense into liquid form. The amount of moisture in compressed air depends on the original humidity of the air, which varies throughout the year. It's possible that the current humidity level you're experiencing is affecting the output of your system.
Regarding oil, it can enter the compressed air if the lubrication system of the compressor is worn out. As the mechanical parts wear over time, the clearances between components increase, allowing oil to leak into the cylinder and mix with the air.
**Questioning**
What causes the wear of the lubrication system? Should it be repaired?
**Reply**
The wear is typically due to long-term operation and normal degradation of internal components. If you are concerned about oil content in the compressed air, it is advisable to perform repairs or maintenance. Additionally, when using an air compressor with a larger air tank, oil and water tend to settle at the bottom of the tank. Regular drainage of this accumulated moisture and oil can significantly reduce their presence in the compressed air. For even better results, you can install filters or separators to further minimize oil and water contamination. Proper maintenance not only improves air quality but also extends the life of your equipment.
