Pneumatic Flashcards
What happens when air is compressed to a smaller volume
It increases its pressure
A dynamic air compressor is frequently referred to as a
Non-positive displacement
The size of the filter is generally determined by the machines what
Intake requirements
Water also tends to promote rust and scale buildup in pipes and fittings for these reasons corrosion resistant piping should be used what does this do
Extenze the pipe service life
When a volume of air is reduced by a compressor its pressure
Increases
Compressors classified according to operation identified or referred to as positive displacement and blank compressors
Dynamic
Reciprocating compressor’s are classified according to their blank and the blank of their cylinders
Operation and physical arrangement
Reciprocating compressor’s that have two or more pistons of different size are called blank compressors
Multi stage
In a compressed air system suction valve unloaders are actuated by air pressure from the
Receiver
Name the four types of positive displacement rotary compressor’s
Rotary screw, sliding vein, impeller, liquid ring
Dynamic compressors have blank displacement
Nonpositive
The amount of cooling that can take place in a water cooled compressor depends on the blank and blank of the water
Temperature and volume
After lubricating oil is added the air should travel no more than about
30 feet
The intake filter of an air compressor should be placed where the air is blank and blank
Coolest and cleanest
Dust washed out of the air by an oil mist collects in the
Lubricant
The air delivered to a pneumatic system should be conditioned by removing water oil and
Solid particles
Filter separators can be placed in the supply branch or blank blank lines of a pneumatic system
Individual feed
In two cylinder adsorption dryers one cylinder dries the air while the other cylinder is being
Reactivated
And airline filter remove oil and water droplets and solid particles from the air through
Centrifugal force
Airline lubricators usually add oil to the airstream at the rate of one drop for every blank CFM
10
A compressor increases the pressure of the air by
Decreasing its volume
Which of the following is used to activate suction unloading valves
Receiver air pressure
Which of the following is classified as a dynamic compressor
Centrifugal
Which of the following best determines the amount of conditioning required by the compressed air after it leaves the compressor
How the air is used
 Blank blank or views are used for showing the physical relationship and interconnections between components
Pictorial symbols
Schematic symbols more clearly emphasize the function and blank of blank of components
Method of operation
Reading schematics and understanding a circuit can be best accomplished by studying small
Segments at a time
Pilot or signal lines are drawn as
A series of long dashes
Name the three types of symbols commonly used in pneumatic diagrams
Pictorial, cutaway, schematic
The construction of components is emphasized in blank symbols
Cutaway
Schematic symbols emphasize the function and blank of a component
Operation
