Difference Between Intercooler And Aftercooler In Air Compressor
Intercooler
>Fitted intermediate stages
>Increase in volumetric efficiency
>Reduce temperature for next stage and it can avoid a
danger of explosion in compressor cylinder.
>No carbonized material form of discharge valve
>Moisture separation is easier through intercooler drain
>Saves power
>Can provide good lubrication of the compressor piston
Aftercooler
>Fitted at the final stage discharge side
>Increase volumetric efficiency
>Reduce final discharge air temperature to room temperature
>Help to reduce air-bottle size
>Moisture separation is easier through after cooler drain
