Typical effects of heat and high humidity

Hot weather puts air treatment systems under strain

While your compressed air system operates reliably during normal conditions, the ambient temperatures tend to vary faster and drastically than expected during the first few hot summer days. As a result, malfunctions, deterioration in quality and unexpected costs can arise - oftentimes unexpectedly.

  • Refrigeration dryers no longer reach the required pressure dew point - the compressed air becomes too humid, which can result in corrosion and application problems.
  • Condensate build-up increases significantly - traps, separators and oil-water separators reach their performance limits.
  • Fine dust, pollen and Sahara dust lead to increased filter load - with higher differential pressure and reduced energy efficiency.
  • Heated intake air increases the oil vapour content - this can impair downstream processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is summer a critical time for compressed air systems?
  • Summer brings significantly higher temperatures and humidity levels, placing additional stress on compressed air treatment systems. These conditions can cause refrigeration dryers to exceed their design limits, resulting in poor drying performance and an increase in the pressure dew point.
  • Moisture entering the system can result in corrosion, quality issues and even damage to downstream equipment. Meanwhile, fine dust, pollen and increased oil vapour content from heated intake air put further strain on filters and separators. The result is higher energy consumption and reduced operational safety, not to mention an increased risk of unplanned downtime if systems aren’t prepared.
What is included in the summer check?

The summer check is a structured, on-site assessment carried out by experienced BEKO TECHNOLOGIES specialists. It covers all critical components of your compressed air treatment system:

  • Dryer performance under elevated ambient temperatures
  • Condensate management and drain functionality during periods of high humidity
  • Filter condition and differential pressure, including overload due to dust and pollen
  • Oil vapour levels in the intake and process air
  • Intake air conditions and potential heat impact on compressors
  • Leak detection and pressure loss in the piping network

You will receive a clear summary of the findings, including specific, actionable recommendations, free of charge and without sales pressure.

What benefits will the summer check bring to my business?

The summer check provides practical security measures to help protect you before the summer period begins. By identifying system weaknesses early on, you can:

  • Avoid costly failures and production downtime
  • Ensure stable, high-quality compressed air, even under hot and humid conditions
  • Reduce energy costs by optimising dryer performance and pressure stability
  • Extend the service life of filters and separators by adjusting to seasonal demands

Get impartial, professional guidance that's informed by years of expertise. It is not affiliated with any manufacturer and customized to suit your specific requirements.

What can I expect from the white paper?

The white paper provides a thorough explanation of why compressed air systems are particularly vulnerable in summer and how to prepare for this. It covers:

  • Typical failure patterns, from pressure dew point drift to condensate overload and increased filter wear
  • The physics behind condensation, including practical examples of how moisture content rises exponentially with temperature
  • A comparison of winter versus summer operation, showing how system demands change seasonally
  • A practical self-check to help you evaluate your system's readiness for summer
  • It also covers quantifiable savings potential, for example through reduced pressure loss and optimised component maintenance
