1. The discharge temperature and pressure will increase, but will the temperature drop be greater or smaller after passing through the cooling water heat exchanger? 2. Will this cause the suction temperature in the suction tank closest to the discharge end to decrease? Please help!

What phenomena occur when light components are present in the propylene refrigeration compressor of an ethylene plant?
Heat exchangers can be used for heat exchange as well as cooling – are you referring to that type?
1. An increase in exhaust temperature and pressure may be due to suboptimal heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger, the presence of impurities such as scale within the heat exchanger, or leakage of water from the gas side of the heat exchanger, resulting in a small temperature drop across it. 2. This will not cause an increase in temperature at the intake pipe and the inlet of the suction tank; however, it may lead to the presence of water in the system, causing water hammer effects, or it may result in poor heat exchange performance within the suction tank
