How many ratios is a compressor making with 14" hg vac suction and 188 PSIG discharge at sea level?
- A.
13.43
- B.
26.08
- C.
174
- D.
24.2
Correct Answer
B. 26.08Explanation
A compressor is making a ratio between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure. In this case, the suction pressure is given as 14" hg vac (vacuum) and the discharge pressure is given as 188 PSIG (pounds per square inch gauge). To calculate the ratio, we need to convert the suction pressure from vacuum to PSIG. Since 1 PSIG is equivalent to 2.036" hg vac, the suction pressure can be converted to -28.504 PSIG. Now we can calculate the ratio by dividing the discharge pressure by the suction pressure: 188 PSIG / -28.504 PSIG = -6.58. However, the absolute value of this ratio is taken, resulting in 6.58. Therefore, the correct answer is 26.08.Rate this question:

Natural gas that has a specific gravity (S.G.) of 0.65 is
- A.
Heavier than air
- B.
Lighter than air
- C.
Weight has nothing to do with this
- D.
Weighs the same as air
Correct Answer
B. Lighter than airExplanation
Natural gas that has a specific gravity (S.G.) of 0.65 is lighter than air. Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of another substance, usually water. Since the specific gravity of natural gas is less than 1, it means that it is less dense than air. Therefore, natural gas will tend to rise and disperse in the atmosphere rather than sink, making it lighter than air.Rate this question:

If corrosive gas is present, like CO2 or H2S, why are gas aftercoolers typically the most affected component?
- A.
It is where most of the heat is present
- B.
Cooling the gas after compression allows water to condense, which forms acid when mixed with corrosive gasses
- C.
The cooler tubes are the thinnest part of the system
- D.
Coolers are typically poor quality and therefore more susceptible to damage
Correct Answer
B. Cooling the gas after compression allows water to condense, which forms acid when mixed with corrosive gassesExplanation
Gas aftercoolers are typically the most affected component when corrosive gas is present because cooling the gas after compression allows water to condense. When this condensed water mixes with corrosive gases like CO2 or H2S, it forms acid. This acid can corrode the components of the aftercooler, causing damage and degradation over time. Therefore, the presence of corrosive gases combined with the condensation of water makes the gas aftercoolers more susceptible to damage.Rate this question:

Why is a check valve on the inlet of a screw compressor critical?
- A.
At shutdown, high pressure can flow back to the package inlet, which is not rated for much pressure
- B.
At shutdown, oil can flow back to the scrubber and be lost through the autodump
- C.
If pressure leaks back to suction on an autostart, it can trigger an unintentional start attempt
- D.
All of the above
- E.
Both B and C
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
A check valve on the inlet of a screw compressor is critical because it prevents various issues during shutdown and autostart. Without a check valve, high pressure can flow back to the package inlet, which can cause damage as the inlet is not designed to handle such pressure. Additionally, without a check valve, oil can flow back to the scrubber and be lost through the autodump, leading to oil loss. Furthermore, if pressure leaks back to suction during an autostart, it can trigger an unintentional start attempt. Therefore, having a check valve on the inlet of a screw compressor is crucial to avoid these potential problems.Rate this question:

If the Vi ratio of a screw compressor is too low for an application, what will occur?
- A.
Overcompression
- B.
Excessive horsepower consumption
- C.
Torsional vibration
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Excessive horsepower consumptionExplanation
If the Vi ratio of a screw compressor is too low for an application, it means that the volume index (Vi) is not optimal for the specific requirements. This can lead to excessive horsepower consumption, as the compressor will need to work harder to compress the air or gas. A low Vi ratio indicates that the compressor is not efficiently compressing the fluid, resulting in higher energy consumption. Therefore, excessive horsepower consumption is the likely outcome when the Vi ratio is too low.Rate this question:

- D.
20.9 %
- E.
0.5%
Correct Answer
B. 6.5 %Explanation
A lean burn engine operates with an excess of oxygen in the exhaust to ensure efficient combustion. Having about 6.5% excess oxygen allows for complete combustion of fuel, resulting in lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency. This level of excess oxygen is considered optimal for lean burn engines.Rate this question:

In a vapor recovery application, why is it important to keep the tank pressure below 8 ounces (typically)?
- A.
Over pressuring can cause an explosion if the liquids in the tank are primarily condensate
- B.
Most VRU suction lines are light ploymer and are not rated for much pressure
- C.
The EPA regulates the allowable pressure for hazardous material storage.
- D.
The tanks will vent gas if allowed to exceed the relief hatch pressure.
Correct Answer
D. The tanks will vent gas if allowed to exceed the relief hatch pressure.Explanation
If the tank pressure exceeds the relief hatch pressure, the tanks will vent gas. This is important in a vapor recovery application because it helps prevent the over pressurization of the tank, which can lead to safety hazards such as explosions. By keeping the tank pressure below 8 ounces, the risk of over pressurization and potential gas venting is minimized, ensuring the safe operation of the vapor recovery system.Rate this question:
