Answer all the questions (Click here for online exercise)

1. There are TWO (2) types of air dryer.

A. True B. False

2. Which process is the following statement refers to?

"After final compression the air will be hot, when it cools it will deposit water in
considerable quantities in the airline (pipe system) system which should be avoided.”

A. Water cool B. Aftercoolers

C. Absorption drying D. Adsorption drying

3. Diagram below shows

A. Desiccant air dryers B. Refrigerant drying

C. Main line filter D. Deliquescent air dryers

 Introduction to Pneumatic System

4. Which of the following statement describes best about the diagram shown below?

A. air flows from the compressor to an aftercooler that lowers the temperature (within
10-15°C of the cooling medium), causes condensation and removes the majority
of water.

B. a steel shell housing tubes with water circulating on one side and air on the other,
usually arranged so that the flow is in opposite directions through the cooler.

C. The cold dry air return pipe passes through air heat exchanger and gains heat
from the incoming high temperature air.

5. What is the purpose of air treatment in air generation system?

A. To remove heat after compression, the air should be further cooled as

near as possible to the point of use

B. To remove remaining moisture, contaminants such as fine particles of

carbonised oil, pipe scale and other foreign matter, the air should be further
cleaned as near as possible to the point of use

C. To remove moisture from the air after air is cooled down by air dryers.

20. Which of the following statement is not correct about this

component?

A. this valve is a combination of a B. When air flows from Port 1 to 2, it will

flow control valve and a non
return valve
C. controls air flow in both
direction which is through the air
throttle
