Q

Air line lubricators are used in compressed air systems to lubricate __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of an air line lubricator in a compressed air distribution system • Where lubrication is actually needed: inside the air tools/equipment vs. inside compressor components • Difference between system components (valves, regulators) and end-use devices (pneumatic tools, cylinders)

💭 Think About

• Think about where moving parts are rubbing together and need a steady supply of oil carried by the air stream. • Ask yourself: does the lubricator normally protect the compressor’s internal valves, or does it mainly serve devices connected downstream on the air line? • Consider how adding oil into the air line would affect pressure-reducing valves compared to air-driven tools like impact wrenches or air motors.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice(s) refer to downstream users of compressed air rather than the compressor internals. • Decide whether air line lubricators are installed near the tools or inside the compressor itself. • Verify that the option you choose matches the usual location of an air line lubricator in a ship’s compressed air system diagram.
