Compressor intercoolers are vital for multi-stage air compressors, cooling air between compression stages to improve efficiency, reduce moisture, and protect equipment. Our air-cooled intercoolers, available through AirCooledAftercoolers.com, are designed for industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, and automotive, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.[](https://www.atlascopco.com/en-ae/compressors/air-compressor-blog/air-compressor-intercooler-and-aftercooler)
In multi-stage compressors, intercoolers cool air between compression stages, reducing temperature and moisture to improve efficiency and protect components. Available through AirCooledAftercoolers.com, our air-cooled intercoolers are engineered for industries like petrochemical, automotive, and manufacturing, offering reliable cooling without the need for water-based systems.[](https://www.atlascopco.com/en-ae/compressors/air-compressor-blog/air-compressor-intercooler-and-aftercooler)
Air-cooled intercoolers enhance compressor efficiency by cooling air to within 20-30°F of ambient temperature, increasing air density for better compression in later stages. They condense moisture, reducing corrosion risks, and are built with durable materials like aluminum or stainless steel to handle pressures up to 250 PSI. Their fan-driven design eliminates water requirements, lowering maintenance and operational costs compared to water-cooled models, making them ideal for environments without water resources.[](https://www.about-air-compressors.com/intercooler/)
These intercoolers support multi-stage compressors in applications such as industrial manufacturing, oil and gas processing, and automotive assembly. Features include high-efficiency cooling fins, low-pressure drop designs, and customizable options like AC or DC power, NPT or flange connections, and ASME-compliant construction. Optional moisture separators and automatic drains enhance air quality for sensitive processes, ensuring durability and performance in demanding conditions.
