COMPOUND COMPRESSION

Domain	Definition
Mechanical Engineering	Compression in two stages, as where the discharge of one compressor is connected with the suction of another, or compression by a single compressor having separate cylinders for each sta ge. Source: European Union. (references)
Mining	In compound compression, the work of compression is divided into two or more stages or cylinders. In two-stage compression, air is compressed in the first or low-pressure cylinder to a certain point, then forced into an intercooler where it is cooled to approx. its original temperature, then passes into the second or high-pressure cylinder, in which it is compressed to the final or delivery pressure. The ratio of compression in each cylinder of a two-stage compressor is equal to the square root of the overall ratio of compression, i.e., the square root of the final absolute pressure divided by the absolute atmospheric pressure. In three-stage work, the ratio of compression in each cylinder is the cube root of theoverall ratio of compression. Also called stage compression. (references)
