7.1.2.1 Air humidity<br />

The ability of air to absorb water is limited and depends on<br />

the air temperature. If the maximum absorption level, the<br />

saturation level, is exceeded, then water vapour condenses.<br />

Dew point temperature of diagram: Dew = 9,25°C.<br />

Warm air can absorb more water than cold air. At 100% rela-<br />

tive humidity, the dew point is attained. If moist warm air<br />

cools down and the relative air humidity increases to the dew<br />

point as a result then the water vapour condenses.<br />
