33. What are the benefits of using an intercooler in an air compressor?

Reply #22021-10-01

Early air compressors had no intercoolers, and the outlet temperature was approximately 175–200°C. Higher temperatures not only tend to cause gas decomposition and increase the tendency for coking, but also increase the power consumption of compressors. After adding an intercooler, a portion of the C5 and C6 components can be condensed, reducing the mass flow rate in the stages of the compressor following the cooler and thus saving power.

1. It can cause some C5 and C6 components to condense, thereby reducing the content of heavy components in the subsequent sections after the cooler； 2. Saves turbine power while preventing the compressor from carrying liquid
