INTER COOLER AFTER COOLER

INTER COOLER AFTER COOLER

An intercooler cools compressed air between multiple stages of compression, while an aftercooler cools it after the final stage of compression. Both are heat exchangers that reduce the temperature of compressed air to increase its density, thereby allowing more oxygen into the combustion chamber for more power and efficient operation. The key difference is their placement in the compression system: intercoolers are for intermediate cooling in multi-stage systems, and aftercoolers are for final cooling
