Questions and Answers
In a compressor cylinder, the approximate temperature at the point of maximum compression could reach 120°C under normal conditions.
False
In exceptional circumstances, the highest temperature that the compressor cylinder's temperature may rise to is 160°C.
False
One reason to take frequent temperature readings of the cooling water at the inlet and outlet while a compressor is in operation is to measure the humidity level of the cooling water.
False
