Does having the same compression ratio in each stage of the compressor save energy? Will it be deliberately adjusted to be the same during operation?
Theoretically, it is the most energy-efficient approach; designs typically involve setting the same pressure ratio for each stage. In practice, however, adjustments are made based on factors such as pressure loss and standard cylinder dimensions.
Theoretically, it is the most energy-efficient, but it still depends on the actual operating conditions
