The effect of (2) on (1) causes the safety hazard. It is clear from tests done using scrubbers that have had moisture added artificially or tests on exhausted scrubbers, that this is a serious issue for granular scrubbers. The same tests on an EAC show it is not an issue at all with EACs.

For me, it's not so clear. Example:

I have 1 penny in my front-right pocket. There are 4 pennies on the desk, I put them in my front right pocket. I have just dramatically increased the available cash in my front right pocket (400% increase). Sounds impressive, unless of course I have, say, $400 in my front left pocket. Then those 4 pennies are not so impressive relative to total cash.

What is missing here is relative measures - do the other factors in the loop (not just the scrubber can and 1 hose) make this measure relevant or is the change in WOB due to moisture insignificant relative to those other factors?

Again, I am not here to tear down the EAC, but claims of superiority demand empirical proof.
