Exam 2018

1- Classify the different types of compressors.

2- Choose the suitable compressor for the small domestic refrigeration.

- Reciprocating compressor.

3- Write the name of the valve used in discharge of the positive displacement pumps. Why?

- Relief valve.
It used to prevent pressure rise at the exit, it is also returns the fluid to the main tank if the pressure at the discharge is increased
above the max limit.

2- What type of compressor is used to apply large quantity of air at low pressure?
- centrifugal compressor.
3- How are the cylinders usually arranged in the single acting reciprocate compressor?
They are arranged : vertically, radially or in ‘V’ or ‘W’ form.
4- Draw a simple sketch of the two types of rotary compressors.

 Exam 2014

1- Choose the suitable compressor for the small domestic refrigeration.

Reciprocating compressor.

2- Write the pressure ratio can be achieved for both single and multistage centrifugal compressors.
- For single stage: (rp) = 4:1
- For multi stage : (rp) = 12:1

3- Can the reciprocating pump work as a self-priming pump? Why?

Yes, it can. Because a capacity to create a vacuum resulting in the suction of the liquid by itself.
4- Write the name of the valve used in discharge of the positive displacement pumps. Why?

- Relief valve.
It used to prevent pressure rise at the exit, it is also returns the fluid to the main tank if the pressure at the discharge is increased
above the max limit.
 Exam 2013
1- Classify the positive displacement pumps.

2- Which pump is mostly used in cooling? What is its type?

- Gear pump.
- Types: Positive displacement – rotary – gear group.

3- Which type of compressors is used to apply large quantity of air and low pressure? Name its major parts.
centrifugal compressor
its major parts:
- Casing.
- Impeller.
- Diffuser.

4- Which type of compressors has high volumetric efficiency? Which one is used for low volume and large
differential pressure?
- The type of compressors has high volumetric efficiency is Rotary compressor, because the
clearance in the rotary is very small.
- The type of compressors has low volume and large differential pressure is reciprocating
compressor (single & double acting)
