Yes, and on steam engines, they generally were called "cooling coils". Your equation is the "general gas law", that we all had learn backwards and forwards!

Thanks John..Guess I haven't forgotten everything I learned in my youth...Something that I thought of after I had sent that post was to make note of the fact that the same type of "radiator like object" was also used on steam locomotives for the same purpose.

As one who used to teach thermodynamics (circa 1973), Pete, I can say you got it exactly right! It cooled the compressed air by radiation, conduction and convention and that's called "heat transfer"!

I believe that that "radiator like object"...is exactly what you have named it.  IIRC my long ago engineering school courses that thing is called an "after cooler"..When air is compressed its temperature increases..Remember P1 T1 VI =P2T2V2.  The compressed and heated air is passed through the "after cooler" before it's admitted to the main reservoir.  It's especially to get the condensation out of the compressed air to prevent "freeze ups" in the winter time and excess moisture, hence damage in the summer.

Those with more recent Thermodynamics training and explanatory expertise may want to "weigh in" and/or "shoot down" my idea.

Everyone,
 
On the NW1’s and early model NW2’s without door louvers, there is a radiator-like object between the frame and the air tanks on both sides of the locomotive. What exactly is this item? Is there a suitable detail part in HO scale for this item?
 
This photo shows the item about as good as any other: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4280766
 
Also, is the three-pane all-weather window currently available in HO scale? I have two of the Overland’s from 20-30 years ago but need more…
