Problem 2 2 points each 1 The basic function of an air dry

Problem 2. ( 2 points each ) 1. The basic function of an air dryer in a compressor is to

a. Prevent dust from entering the compressor

b. Reduce the temperature of the air before it enters the next stage to increase efficiency

c. Store and smoothen the pulsating air output

d. Remove remaining traces of moisture after the after-cooler

Solution

Answer is option (d)

d. Remove remaining traces of moisture after the after-cooler

The basic function of the air dryer is to remove moisture from the air by cooling it with a refrigerant.

Thus, the water vapor is condensed, and the air can be compressed.

The result is dry compressed air, which can be used in compressed air equipment without causing any damage.
