Even then, the air can still be completely saturated with water vapour. This condensate is then removed in the centrifugal separator, or the air receiver, downstream from the compressor.
When the air is cooled, its capacity to hold moisture reduces which causes the water vapour to condense. As air temperature rises as happens during compression the air's capability to hold moisture increases also. However, the amount of water vapour that air can carry depends on the temperature. The atmospheric air drawn into a compressor is a mixture of gases that always contains water vapour.
