Two-stage compression splits the pressure rise into two steps with intercooling between them, improving efficiency under load.
How Two-Stage Works
Air is compressed to an intermediate pressure, cooled, then compressed again to final pressure, reducing the work per stage.
Efficiency Benefits
Intercooling lowers the temperature of the second-stage intake, reducing energy use and heat stress on the machine.
When It Pays Off
Higher-pressure and heavy-duty applications gain the most, while routine plant air may run well on a single stage.
