What is the purpose of an intercooler in a compressed air system?
What is the purpose of an intercooler in a compressed air system?
- To remove moisture from the compressed air
- To reduce the pressure of the compressed air before it enters the next stage of compression
- To increase the temperature of the compressed air to improve efficiency
- To remove excess heat from the compressed air before it enters the next stage of compression (correct)
In a two-stage compressor, what is the function of the intercooler pressure?
In a two-stage compressor, what is the function of the intercooler pressure?
- To minimize the mechanical work required for compression
- To reduce the temperature of the compressed air between stages (correct)
- To directly control the compression efficiency
- To increase the temperature of the compressed air between stages
What does the term 'volumetric efficiency' refer to in the context of a compressor?
What does the term 'volumetric efficiency' refer to in the context of a compressor?
- The efficiency of the intercooler in removing heat from the compressed air
- The total volume of air handled by the compressor per unit time
- The ratio of actual compressor work to ideal compressor work
- The actual volume of air delivered by the compressor compared to its piston displacement (correct)
