The special thing about compressed air storage is that the air heats up strongly when being compressed from atmospheric pressure to a storage pressure of approx. 1,015 psia (70 bar). Standard multistage air compressors use inter- and after-coolers to reduce discharge temperatures to 300/350°F (149/177°C) and cavern injection air temperature …
Liu et al. [ 45] calculated the energy density of compressed air to be 370 kJ/kg under the storage pressure of 20 MPa, which is much lower than that of diesel or gasoline. To ensure the continuous supply of compressed air during the operation, the power of the engine or the vehicle speed must be limited.
