>(IE what volume of air you get out of 80% humidity intake air vs 30% humidity intake air)

A quick Google gives me that both are in the order of ~10 g/kg (or g/m3 at standard pressure), so I'd say both will be about the same? What am I missing?




You are not accounting for incoming temperature, heat of compression, pressure, etc

https://www.air-compressor-guide.com/articles/water-in-compr... has a reasonable view.

The short version essentially amounts to you will end up with a lot of water to deal with.


Sure it's annoying to deal with, but that article seems to confirm what I said? Compared to the volume of air it's nothing.
