@EPG That is an impressive fill time on the tank. Nice compressor.
Just for reference, I calculated how much water vapor was in the air you compressed. Based on the info you provided, you compressed roughly 1/3 of a cubic meter of air into that tank, and that air would have carried roughly 1.3 grams of water vapor with it into your compressor (assuming an ambient air temp of 68 F). It's hard to estimate how much water that venting represented - maybe half a cc? Whatever it was, the balance was adsorbed in your desiccant drier's media. After the tank cools down to ambient, it would have only about 0.01 grams of water vapor in it . . .
