What can be a consequence of neglecting moisture control in PAC equipment?

Neglecting moisture control in Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC) equipment can lead to increased operational costs. Moisture in the air can cause various issues during the cutting process, such as increased wear on the equipment, reduced cutting quality, and potential malfunctions. When moisture mixes with the plasma arc, it can lead to inconsistent cuts and require more frequent maintenance or replacement of parts, driving up costs related to repairs and downtime.

Additionally, moisture can lead to the formation of corrosion over time, further complicating maintenance and operation. Increased costs may also arise from the need for additional consumables, such as electrode and nozzle replacements, because the presence of moisture can hasten their degradation. Overall, effective moisture control is crucial for maintaining efficiency and minimizing expenses in PAC operations.
