What type of compressor requires the vanes To be made from a special material with a low coefficient of friction such as Teflon or graphite? |
Dry vane |
|
|
What type of compressor is flooded with oil all the time it is running? |
Wet vane |
|
|
How do you vane compressor systems often Eliminate the need for an a receiver? |
By using an inlet throttling control system |
|
|
What is the only major moving part in a sliding vane compressor? |
The rotor |
|
|
What does it mean for a compressor to have a built-in pressure ratio? |
The pressure ratio is not adjustable |
|
|
What prevents the high-pressure discharge air from leaking back into the low pressure suction area? |
Centrifugal force along with an oil seal |
|
|
How is compressor capacity determined? |
By calculating the volume of air between two sets of veins at maximum volume |
|
|
Why do nonlubricated vein Designs generally produce air at low pressures? |
They cannot sustain the high temperature is generated one high pressures are required and they have increased friction from the veins sliding on the cylinder |
|
|
What is the purpose of the oil in a wet been compressor? |
To cool, seal, lubricate, prevent corrosion and operate the servo valve |
