CondensateAn mixture or oil and water that is found in compressed air. It occurs when water is changes from a gas to a liquid as the temperature of the compressed air falls. This water mixes with oil that is in the compressed air to form an emulsion. Condensate causes problems to pneumatic equipment and should be removed from the compressed air before entering the pneumatic equipment. It is a hazardous waste and should be disposed of as such. |
