How is compression staged, and why is intercooling needed?
sourced
Multi-stage reciprocating or screw compressors, typically four or five stages, raise pressure from about 1 bar to 200-250 bar, with intercooling after each stage to remove heat and condensed moisture. Compression alone consumes about 0.15-0.20 kWh per kg of CBG.
