In a 2 stage compressor the air is first compressed in a large bore
cylinder, then through an intercooler and then into a smaller bore cylinder
to higher pressure. They're more efficient, run cooler and deliver more air
for the power consumed, particularly in the 100 - 200 psi range.
Hope this helps.
