If an intercooler is installed between cylinders, in which the compressed air is cooled between cylinders, then the final delivery temperature is reduced.

This reduction in temperature means a reduction in internal energy of the delivered air, and since this energy must have come from the input energy required to …

In multistage compressors, with each compression cycle, the pressure increases, which leads to an increase in temperature. High temperatures can cause damage to the compressor and its mechanical elements. Thus, it is essential to reduce the air temperature.

Intercoolers act like heat exchangers which reduce the temperature of compressed air …
