what is a Intercooler in Air Compressor| Advantage of Intercooler| Aftercooler|

hello bro your videos are awesome but you have made a mistake about volumetric efficiency. Volumetric efficiency mean the ration of actual volume of air intakes during suction stroke into the total volume of the cylinder. by reducing clearance volume and heat we can improve the volumetric efficiency .

One thing you should add to your slide: Aftercoolers are primarily used for moisture removal from hot, moist compressed air. The cooling of the air facilitates moisture removal by providing conditions where the water can condense and be removed. Globally aftercoolers are far more common than intercoolers and they (aftercoolers) are used frequently to remove moisture. Most users do not care about the efficiency, but they do care about moisture in their compressed air lines. You are correct that the aftercooler does not affect the efficiency of the compression cycle.

Sir plz mention the tube materials also as sometimes surveyor asked this question.

Air or water passes through the tubes of intercooler
