Why inter-coolers are required for multi-stage reciprocating compressors?  
Answer : The intercoolers reduce the temperature of air/gas discharged between stages. Ideally, the intake temperature at each stage should be the same as that at the first stage (referred to a perfect cooling), so that the volume of air to be compressed does not increase and hence reduced power consumption....
