The wattage of a YH compressor is some 1800W (2½hp) and it can deliver @30liters/min (at 0bar and it decreases fast).
A similar Wattage aircompressor is delivering some 300+liters of free air which is way less under 8-10bar (more like 65-80liters).
An aircompressor is only rated for 20/80 meaning 20% work / 80% idle/cooling time.
So now that 65-80 liters a minute are cut down by 1/4 to some 12,5-20liters/minute.
To add injury to insult the Alaros booster uses some 75% of it's supplied air for work.
In the end only @3-4liters enter your tank every minute of use for the booster compared to 6-8 times that for th YH.
If we work the other way around and calculate what aircompressor would fill at the same volume as a Yh then we end at some 80+cfm. Food for thought!
Where the booster shines is for elevated pressures where no additional stress is imposed on the equipment (compared to cheap 2 piston compressors) and the ability to boost noble gasses.
