Aux 1 Unit 6 Q8

1 / 10

What is one sign that an air compressor might be running with a dirty air filter?

B) The compressor cycles on and off more frequently due to reduced airflow

C) The air pressure output is higher than normal

D) The air from the compressor feels cooler than usual

A) The compressor runs more quietly than usual

2 / 10

How does running an air compressor with a dirty air filter impact energy consumption?

B) It increases energy consumption because the compressor has to work harder to draw in air

D) It allows the compressor to run at lower power levels

A) It reduces energy consumption by making the compressor work more efficiently

C) It has no impact on energy consumption

3 / 10

What potential damage could occur if an air compressor continues to run with a dirty air filter?

C) The compressor’s output pressure will significantly increase

D) The compressor will automatically shut down to prevent damage

B) The compressor could suffer from overheating, increased wear, and possible failure due to restricted airflow

A) The compressor may run cooler

4 / 10

Why is it important to address a dirty air filter promptly in an air compressor system?

A) To ensure the compressor produces cleaner air

C) To make the compressor run at a higher speed

B) To prevent damage to the compressor, avoid increased energy consumption, and maintain system efficiency

D) To decrease the compressor’s operating pressure

5 / 10

How does a dirty air filter affect the efficiency of an air compressor?

C) It has no effect on the compressor’s efficiency

D) It improves the airflow into the compressor

A) It increases the compressor’s efficiency by reducing airflow resistance

B) It decreases the efficiency by restricting airflow, causing the compressor to work harder

6 / 10

How does an air filter contribute to the longevity of an air compressor?

C) By increasing the speed of the compressor

A) By reducing the temperature of the compressed air

B) By preventing contaminants from entering the compressor and causing wear or damage to internal components

D) By reducing the noise level of the compressor

7 / 10

What is the primary purpose of an air filter in an air compressor system?

C) To cool the air before it is compressed

B) To remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants from the air before it enters the compressor

A) To increase the air pressure

D) To regulate the flow of air into the compressor

8 / 10

Why is it essential to ensure that the air filter in an air compressor is regularly maintained and replaced?

C) To reduce the operating temperature of the compressor

A) To keep the compressor running at maximum speed

B) To ensure efficient air flow and prevent contaminants from entering the system

D) To increase the noise level of the compressor

9 / 10

What is the main risk of running an air compressor with a dirty air filter?

B) The compressor will work harder, leading to increased energy consumption and potential overheating

A) The compressor will produce cleaner air

C) The compressor will become quieter

D) The air pressure will increase dramatically

10 / 10

What could happen if an air compressor operates without an air filter?

D) The compressor would overheat

B) Contaminants could enter the compressor, leading to increased wear, damage, and potential failure of the compressor

A) The compressor would operate more efficiently

C) The air pressure would increase
