    • D.

      Oil cooler bypass valve

    Correct Answer
    A. Thermostatic bypass valve
    Explanation
    The thermostatic bypass valve is responsible for regulating the flow of oil through the oil cooler based on the oil temperature. It senses the oil temperature and adjusts the valve accordingly to either allow or restrict the flow of oil through the cooler. This helps to maintain the optimal temperature of the oil and prevent overheating. The temp bulb, thermostat, and oil cooler bypass valve may have other functions in the oil cooling system, but they do not specifically sense the oil temperature like the thermostatic bypass valve does.

    Correct Answer
    C. Drilled passageway
    Explanation
    In the power section pressure oil system, oil is directed onto the compressor extension shaft through a drilled passageway. This means that there is a specific pathway within the system that allows the oil to flow directly onto the shaft. This ensures that the oil reaches the desired component and provides lubrication and cooling as needed. External lines, internal lines, and tie bolts may play a role in the overall system, but they do not specifically direct oil onto the compressor extension shaft.
