It's mostly in an uneven proportion: 4 cilinders HS and 1 LS or 6/2. Mostly an interstage cooler between LP and HP to avoid high discharge temperatures.
Ank_Gl, regrading your last post, 1 is wrong only one cycle, 2 is correct and 3 is also correct
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
