🔍 Key Concepts

• heat transfer and insulation on intercooler surfaces • relationship between intercooler efficiency and second-stage temperature • how increased load on the compressor affects motor operating temperature

💭 Think About

• If dust and grease form an insulating layer on the intercooler, what happens to its ability to remove heat from the compressed air? • When the air entering the second stage is hotter than normal, how does that affect the second stage’s discharge temperature? • If the compressor runs hotter overall, what happens to the amount of work the motor must do and its operating temperature?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether reduced cooling at the intercooler would logically make the second stage discharge hotter or cooler. • Consider if extra work required to compress hotter, less-cooled air would make the drive motor run warmer. • Verify that both I and II are evaluated independently: could one, both, or neither logically follow from poor intercooler cooling?
