This paper presents a review on how important the intercooling of air compressor is necessary for an efficient process. Basically the meaning of air compression is to reduce a specified volume, resulting in an increase in pressure. For improving efficiency of the system compression is done in more than one stage and between each stage intercooler is provided. Intercooler improves the quality of air and reduces inlet air temperature. The function of the intercooler is to cool the air as it leaves the Low Pressure cylinder and before it enters the High Pressure cylinder. This improves the efficiency of the compressor and ensures that the temperature of the air receiver outlet valves is just right for optimum operation of the tools connected to the compressor. The cooler is composed of sheet metal plate elements or tabular core. Type VT4 compressor is a Two Stage Reciprocating Air Compressors which is most widely used for Industrial Purpose. This paper highlights the various efforts of the various researchers. On the basis of various researches it is proposed that the change in size of intercooler will avoid heating in High Pressure Cylinder during long run.
