🔍 Key Concepts

• Air compressor stages and cooling – what happens to air as it is compressed and cooled • Condensation of moisture in compressed air systems • Effects of water in pneumatic systems vs. inside the compressor cylinders

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the moisture in air when it is compressed and then cooled in an intercooler/aftercooler. • Which location is the question focused on: the compressor/cooler itself, or the downstream pneumatic equipment? • Which option describes a direct mechanical or performance effect inside the compressor stages if liquid water is allowed to collect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where the condensate physically collects: in the intercooler/aftercooler drains, not necessarily in the downstream piping. • Ask whether the main concern is system operation (valves, controls, tools) or the compressor’s own capacity and compression process. • Eliminate any choices that suggest effects that are unlikely from just water in coolers (e.g., true explosion hazards vs more common performance issues).
