Intercoolers lower the temperature of air going from one stage of a compressor to another, it increases the efficiency as the air becomes more dense. As the recieving stage is compressing cooler air as result, there is less heat produced in the succeding stage. If the intercooler has a large surface area, the temperature can approach ambient temperatures, and moisture my drop out, requiring a method for it's removal; if not a slug of water could damage the recieving stage. Efficiency increases can be had >15%

What is the purpose of magnetic unloader on the air compressor?
An item designed for the purpose of unloading an air compressor at the end of a pumping operation or at any time when voltage failure occurs.
What is a air ratchet?
its a hand held rachet that's hooked to an air compressor by a hose and it operates on compressed air from the air compressor.
What is a positive displacement air compressor?
An air compressor which is used to compress air in a cylinder, that is reducing the volume and increasing the pressure of air is known as positive displacement air compressor. It is used for the compression process in IC engines.
Can you take a horizontal air compressor and use it vertically?
What kind of air compressor is it? And if it is oil lubricated no!
How does reciprocating compressor works?
As the piston moves up and down, it pushes air at increasing pressure into a cylinder.
What is the main purpose of the air compressor?

What is function of Inter cooler air compressor and if intercooler is not there what effect on air compressor performance?
The intercooler line on an air compressor transfers and cools the air that is compressed in one cylinder (low pressure) to the second cylinder (high pressure) on a two stage pump. An air compressor pump without an intercooler line would, not work at all unless properly re-plumbed, and, at best, offer the compressed air from the low pressure piston at about 70psi. and nothing from the second piston unless it too was re-plumbed to offer an additional flow at 70psi.
What is the purpose of the intercooler?
An intercooler is used on a turbocharged (or supercharged) engine. Assuming you have a turbo diesel: The turbo compresses air to get more air into your engine. More air + more fuel = more power. The air heats up as it is compressed, reducing it's density. An intercooler chills the air, increasing its density allowing for greater power to be generated.
What size home air compressor do you need?
Air compressor for what purpose?
What is the purpose of industrial air compressor?
The purpose of industrial air compressor is to compress air in large amounts and volumes, later storing the compressed air in special tanks or pressure vessels.
Purpose of intercoolar hose in a Volvo?
The intercooler hoses deliver air from the turbocharger outlet to the intercooler inlet and from the intercooler outlet to the engine intake manifold. When air is compressed in the turbocharger, it gets heated. The intercooler cools the air coming out of the turbocharger before it goes into the engine. Cooling the intake air helps prevent detonation (engine knocking) and lets the engine use a little bit higher compression ratio.
What is the purpose of a piston?
It compresses the air in a engine or compressor.
What is the purpose of piston?
It compresses the air in a engine or compressor.
What is the purpose of magnetic unloader on the air compressor?
An item designed for the purpose of unloading an air compressor at the end of a pumping operation or at any time when voltage failure occurs.
Do you run the air that your turbocharger blows out through your intercooler then to your throttle body or do you put a filter on one end of the intercooler and have the turbo breathe from it?
The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.
What will cause a marine air compressor high pressure relief valve to lift?
Excessive pressure in the compressor, after the first stage (or how ever many stages there are). Excessive pressure could be caused by shut/ blocked discharge valve. There will also be a relief valve fitted to the intercooler, should one of the tubes burst. This would let air into the water side and suddenly increase the pressure in the intercooler, so a relief valve is fitted.
What is the purpose of a 12 volt air compressor?
The purpose of an air compressor is to air up tires. This can be bike tires but also car tires. Because it is a small model, it takes some time to fill a car tire, but it works.
