← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the intercooler of a two-stage air compressor fails during the compression cycle?
A)Increased compressor outlet temperature results✓
B)Reduced volumetric efficiency is observed
C)Decreased lubricant oil consumption occurs
D)Lower power input requirement appears
💡 Explanation
The outlet air temperature increases dramatically because the intercooler normally removes the heat of compression between the stages. The failing heat extraction increases the inlet temperature in the second compression stage, therefore rising the outlet temperature, rather than lower efficiency or consumption.
