Wow now that is compressed. Well simply put- A single stage say air compressor would compress air with a piston and send it to the tank or tool. A dual stage would compress the air in one chamber, then compress that air again in a second chamber. And so on. To get technical with it- with a single stage compressor and 150 gal tank say if it took 1500 strokes to put 100 psi into the tank. On a 3 stage it would take say 500 strokes of the compressor to put 100 psi into the tank. So it is alot more efficient to have multiple stages. All of you scientist forgive me that is a very loose example but I dont know who I am answering and dont want to o too much over their head.

How do you find the number of stages in the compressor?

To determine the number of stages in a compressor, you need to consider factors such as the desired pressure ratio, efficiency requirements, and the size of the compressor. Multiple stages are typically used to achieve higher pressure ratios or when operating conditions require greater efficiency. Consult the compressor manufacturer's specifications or consult with a mechanical engineer for specific guidance.


Why are number of compressor stages more than turbine stages in a jet-engine?

Flow does not like the pressure gradient it sees going into the compressor and is therefore, more likely to separate (causing flow separation). Therefore, a more subtle increase in pressure through each stage is needed in the compressor. The turbine does not see this problem.
