Air gets very hot when compressed to high pressure. The temperature may be so high that it causes trouble with the lubrication of the cylinder and piston. For this reason and also because it is possible to save considerable power, multistaging may be used, which means that compression is carried out in two or more cylinders. 1, record 2, English, - multistaging

Dans ces conditions, on a recours [...] à la compression étagée avec refroidissement intermédiaire. 1, record 2, French, - compression%20%C3%A9tag%C3%A9e
