Use the Compressor Condensate Calculator to calculate condensate formed after compression and aftercooling. The calculator uses Intake reference flow, Ambient temperature, Ambient RH, Ambient absolute pressure and Discharge absolute pressure and reports condensate rate.
Read the result in the context of the selected units and pressure basis. For this tool, the primary outputs are condensate rate. Change one input at a time when comparing scenarios so the effect of each variable remains clear.
PneumaForge applies this verified method: Calculate intake humidity ratio and dry-air mass flow; after compression/aftercooling use saturation ratio at outlet P,T; condensate=ṁ_dry·max(0,x_in-x_sat,out). The functional engine is shared with related tools in the condensate family, while this page solves the specific intent represented by compressor condensate calculator.
Calculate intake humidity ratio and dry-air mass flow; after compression/aftercooling use saturation ratio at outlet P,T; condensate=ṁ_dry·max(0,x_in-x_sat,out).Reproducible example: start with the calculator's default values (Intake reference flow = 5000; Ambient temperature = 25; Ambient RH = 60; Ambient absolute pressure = 1.01325) and calculate the result. Then change the variable most relevant to your application and compare the new condensate rate against the baseline.

It is designed to calculate condensate formed after compression and aftercooling. The reported outputs are condensate rate.
The calculator uses Intake reference flow, Ambient temperature, Ambient RH, Ambient absolute pressure and Discharge absolute pressure. Only use values that represent the same operating condition or design case.
The calculation follows: Calculate intake humidity ratio and dry-air mass flow; after compression/aftercooling use saturation ratio at outlet P,T; condensate=ṁ_dry·max(0,x_in-x_sat,out). The page also states the assumptions that define where the method is valid.

Yes. PneumaForge converts supported units through canonical engineering units. For compressed-air reference flows and pressure bases, the reference pressure and temperature must also remain consistent.
