Compressed-air calculator
Water removal — condensate at the aftercooler and dryer
Intake air carries water vapour; once compressed then cooled, the excess moisture condenses into liquid water that must be drained and treated.
This calculator estimates the water removed at the aftercooler and dryer for your conditions — the starting point for sizing condensate drains and oil-water separators.
Water removal
Water condensed at the aftercooler and dryer for given inlet/outlet conditions.

To calculate, still needed: the ambient pressure, the ambient temperature, the relative humidity, the compressor flow, the system pressure, the dewpoint.
