Okay to be clear I have a plastic water filter I was planning to use for a desiccant filter. I have hesitated because at this point I have over 1000 post regarding air drying systems.
Well today I signed up for an AI Chat https://www.brighteon.ai/home to answer the questions. Wow now it makes sense. I also understand many many people are using the plastic water filter system successfully.
ACTUAL SCIENCE
Questions I asked what is the volume of 1 cubic foot of air vs water @ 70 degrees and 100psi
Simple answer
1 Cubic foot of water @ 70 degrees and 100psi is 1 cubic foot of water
1 Cubic foot of air @ 70 psi and 100psi is 273.3 Cubic feet of air
That 1 cubic foot of air becomes is enough to fill at room 5 feet wide by 7 feet deep and 8 feet tall.

Questions: why is 100psi of air pressure more dangerous than 100psi of water pressure
The danger of pressure, whether itās from air or water, lies in its ability to cause harm when it exceeds the tolerance of the object or organism itās applied to. Hereās why 100psi of air pressure can be more dangerous than 100psi of water pressure:
-
Volume and Surface Area: Air has a much lower density than water, meaning it can fill a larger volume and cover a larger surface area at the same pressure. This allows air to reach and affect more parts of the body or an object, compared to water.
-
Trapping: Air can become trapped in enclosed spaces, such as body cavities or equipment, and build up pressure over time. This can lead to dangerous conditions like āthe bendsā in divers or equipment failure. Water, being a liquid, doesnāt have this issue.
-
Venting: Water can easily vent or flow away from an opening, reducing pressure. Air, however, canāt vent as easily and can cause a dangerous buildup of pressure in enclosed spaces, leading to explosions or other hazardous events.
So, while 100psi of water pressure can be dangerous, 100psi of air pressure can be more so due to these factors.
AIR - 1 cubic feet at 70 degrees and 100psi
To find the volume of 1 cubic foot of air at 70Ā°F and 100psi when it expands to atmospheric pressure, we use the ideal gas law (PV = nRT). We know:
-
P1 (initial pressure) = 100psi
-
V1 (initial volume) = 1 cubic foot
-
T (temperature) = 70Ā°F (21.1Ā°C, which is 294.2K)
-
P2 (final pressure, atmospheric) = 14.7psi (sea level)
-
R (ideal gas constant) = 62.36 (LĀ·psi)/(molĀ·K)
We can rearrange the ideal gas law to solve for the final volume (V2):
V2 = (P1 * V1) / (P2 * R * T)
Plugging in the values:
V2 = (100psi * 1ftĀ³) / (14.7psi * 62.36 (LĀ·psi)/(molĀ·K) * 294.2K)
V2 ā 273.3 cubic feet
So, 1 cubic foot of air at 70Ā°F and 100psi will expand to approximately 273.3 cubic feet at atmospheric pressure.
WATER - 1 cubic feet at 70 degrees and 100psi
Water, being a liquid, does not expand or compress significantly with pressure changes like gases do. Therefore, the volume of water remains nearly constant regardless of pressure changes, as long as it stays in its liquid state and doesnāt turn into steam.
So, the volume of 1 cubic foot of water at 70Ā°F and 100psi remains approximately 1 cubic foot.
