Ambient Air

The air around or surrounding you. It is often used to refer to temperature (ambient temperature) and means the temperature of the air around you otherwise know as room temperature. For example compressed air leaving the compressor is hot. As it travels into the receiver and then down the pipework it cools until it reaches ambient temperature or room temperature - the temperature of the surrounding air.
