Abstracts: Air compressor is a machine which used to compress the air, and raise its pressure. Heating and cooling are the unavoidable events in case of reciprocating air compressor which directly affect the overall efficiency of compressor. So for improving the efficiency of compressor intercooling is the better way. By way of intercooling the volumetric efficiency will be improved which result reduced in load on compressors, also by the use of intercoolants the efficiency also improved. We used many types of intercooler like water, air, ethylene glycol, radiator oil etc. and also mixture of them are used like (20%) ethylene glycol & (80%) water and (30%)ethylene glycol &(70%)water. By experimental set up we can find that which one is best suitable for industry.
