Compressor fund,valve,cylinders Flashcards
2 gas properties for compressor system
gas flows from high to low pressure
must be a pressure difference for flow
3 ways to increase gas pressure
reduce volume
heat the gas
pack more gas into the area
how to calculate absolute pressure
add 14.7 to psig
what is a perfect vacuum
0 psia
-14.7 psig
absolute zero for Fahrenheit (Rankin)
-460 fahrenheit
absolute zero for Celsius (kelvin)
-273 Celsius
effect of velocity when pressure decreases
velocity increases
effect of pressure when altitude ubcreases
pressure decreases
type of compressor when compression happens on one side of the piston
single acting
amount of compression strokes for one revolution in a single acting compressor
one revolution=one compression
type of compressor when compression happens on both side of the piston
double acting
amount of compression strokes for one revolution in a double acting compressor
one revolution=two compression
dryer type that absorbs
deliquescent or absorbtion
dryer type that attracts
desiccant or adsorption
what is required on air reciever
gauge
relief valve
drain
