🔍 Key Concepts

• Intercooler location and function between low-pressure (LP) and high-pressure (HP) stages • Difference between suction (inlet) side and discharge side problems in multi-stage compressors • How leaky valves (intake vs discharge, LP vs HP) affect pressures and flow through stages

💭 Think About

• Picture the airflow path: ambient air → LP cylinder → intercooler → HP cylinder. At which point along this path is the intercooler, and what would make its pressure drop abnormally low? • For each choice, ask: does this fault tend to raise or lower the pressure in the intercooler space, or does it mainly affect a different part of the system? • Think about what a discharge valve leak actually does: does it reduce the pressure where the air is going, or where it’s coming from?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which cylinder (LP vs HP) is directly connected to the intercooler volume • Check whether the fault would affect pressure before the LP discharge or after the HP suction • Verify which options would more likely cause high intercooler pressure instead of low intercooler pressure
