🔍 Key Concepts

• Multi-stage air compressors and why stages are cooled between them • Effect of compressing air on its temperature and moisture content • Difference between cooling the air charge between stages vs cooling the cylinder walls

💭 Think About

• When air is compressed in the first stage, what happens to its temperature and volume before it goes to the second stage? • If the air between stages is too hot, how does that affect the work the next stage must do and the safety of the system? • Which option describes treating the air itself between stages, not the compressor parts or piping?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice talks about the air charge between stages rather than the compressor structure (cylinder walls, suction, etc.) • Recall that cooling between stages is mainly to remove heat of compression and reduce work in the next stage • Eliminate any option that refers to conditions not typically associated with air systems (e.g., liquid-related problems).
