Dew-Point Temperature vs. Ambient Temperature

These charts are easily used by reading the ambient temperature along the bottom axis of the chart and then reading
the appropriate pressure curve to determine the corresponding dew-point temperature on the left axis of the chart.
The compressor discharge temperature must be maintained at a minimum of
10° F above this dew-point temperature
to prevent condensation accumulation in the lubricant reservoir. These charts assume 100% relative humidity.
