Which outcome occurs when the intercooler of a two-stage air compressor fails during the compression cycle?

💡 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.
