Abstract	To investigate the viability of staging hydraulic air compressors (HACs), a model for HACs operating with a closed loop water cycle powered by a pump was made. This model was used to simulate how these HACs would respond to variable heights and mass flow ratios for both single-stage and multi-stage applications. Using the results of these simulations and the model, a design tool was made to provide ideal designs for staged HACs when given input, operating, and delivery conditions. The output of this design tool was analyzed to compare single-stage and multi-stage HACs for the same set of delivery conditions. Keywords: staged hydraulic air compressors, isothermal compression, thermodynamic analysis, optimization
