Question 1

Question
Compressor lubrication may be divided into two main sections _______ lubrication and ________ lubrication 1. Peripheral 2. Internal 3. Splash 4. External 5. Pressure
Answer
  • 1,2
  • 3,5
  • 2,3,4
  • 2,4

Question 2

Question
A double acting reciprocating compressor:
Answer
  • Receives and compresses air at the head end of the cylinder
  • Receives and discharges air at both ends of the cylinder
  • Increases the pressure twice from the inlet valve
  • Has one compression stroke for every crankshaft revolution
  • Must have at least two pistons

Question 3

Question
Two pre-filters are installed on a package industrial screw compressor. They are installed at the inlet of the:
Answer
  • Water/oil seperator
  • Air dryer
  • After filter
  • Air fluid seperator
  • Moisture seperator

Question 4

Question
Reciprocating Compressor valves are usually automatic and open and close by:
Answer
  • Action of a poppet valve
  • Movement of the piston covering or uncovering ports
  • Operation of an air solenoid valve
  • A pressure difference
  • A camshaft

Question 5

Question
The axial flow compressor's basic operating principle is similar to a:
Answer
  • Centrifugal compressor
  • Reciprocating compressor
  • Reaction turbine in reverse
  • Reaction turbine
  • Rotary compressor

Question 6

Question
The compression Ratio is the ratio of:
Answer
  • Absolute discharge pressure to absolute inlet pressure
  • Gauge discharge pressure to gauge inlet pressure
  • The free air intake to the absolute volumetric discharge
  • The gauge inlet pressure to the absolute discharge pressure
  • Piston diameter to piston stroke

Question 7

Question
In a packaged screw compressor package, the bulk of the moisture is removed in the moisture separator in order to decrease the load in the:
Answer
  • Air/fluid seperator
  • Pre-filter
  • Air dryer
  • After filter
  • Water/Oil seperator

Question 8

Question
The prime purpose of water-cooling or air cooling an air compressors cylinder is to:
Answer
  • Cool the air
  • Reduce moisture and volume of the air
  • Keep the cylinder at a reasonable temperature
  • Prevent fire from occurring in the receiver
  • Prevent operator injury

Question 9

Question
An important advantage of a sliding vane compressor is that it:
Answer
  • Does not require internal lubrication
  • Has a high starting torque
  • Does not require inlet or discharge valves
  • Requires light nylon timing gears
  • Does not require a prime mover

Question 10

Question
An air filter on an air compressor inlet pipe is used to:
Answer
  • Reduce the air velocity
  • Keep out the moisture
  • Purify the air by removing exhaust process gases
  • Prevent dust and other particulate from entering the compressor
  • Increase the air velocity
