24 Questions
What is the approximate temperature at the point of maximum compression in a compressor cylinder under normal conditions?
90°C
Under exceptional circumstances, what is the highest temperature that the compressor cylinder's temperature may rise to?
200°C
Why is it important to take frequent temperature readings of the cooling water at the inlet and outlet while a compressor is in operation?
To monitor the efficiency of the cooling system
What issue might arise if cooling water containing impurities is used in a compressor's water jackets?
Accumulation of scale in water-cooled parts
Why is the condition of the air entering a compressor considered important?
To maintain optimal compressor operation
How does irregularity in temperature readings of cooling water during compressor operation help in diagnosing potential issues?
Highlights possible discharge valve problems
What is the primary purpose of filters in a compressor system?
To reduce wear caused by impurities in the air intake
Why is it important for the air intake source to be outside the engine room and away from engine exhaust?
To minimize wear caused by abrasive elements in the air
How can sticky accumulations behind piston rings impact compressor performance?
By interfering with the free action of the rings
Why is it recommended to consult the manufacturer for determining when a filter needs cleaning?
To ensure proper maintenance procedures are followed
Which factor influences how often air filters need cleaning according to the text?
The volume of air handled by the compressor
In routine compressor checks, what is the purpose of inspecting and cleaning cooling coils?
To ensure efficient heat exchange and cooling in the system
The cooling water for cylinder jackets and heads should be turned off while the compressor is in operation.
False
Accumulations of scale in water-cooled parts can improve the heat transfer from the compressed air to the circulating water.
False
Consulting the manufacturer is not necessary for determining the frequency of cleaning required for water-cooled parts.
False
Irregular temperature readings of the cooling water during compressor operation indicate a problem with the air intake source.
False
The condition of the air entering a compressor does not impact the operation of the compressor.
False
Frequent temperature readings of the water jackets are not necessary during compressor operation.
False
The presence of sticky accumulations behind the piston rings can enhance the performance of a compressor.
False
Operators are not required to conduct routine checks on compressors and related equipment according to the text.
False
Checking for leaks and loose parts is a daily routine check that operators must perform on compressors.
True
Inspecting and cleaning cooling coils is only required on a monthly basis according to the text.
False
Assessing the performance of intercoolers, aftercoolers, and oil coolers is not part of the monthly routine checks recommended for compressor maintenance.
False
Cleaning air intake filters is only necessary when warning alarms arise during compressor operation according to the text.
False
Test your knowledge on maintaining the correct working temperature within a compressor cylinder to ensure continuous, trouble-free, and economic operation. Learn about the temperature variations during compression and the importance of cooling water for cylinder jackets.
