🔍 Key Concepts

• How a reciprocating low pressure air compressor works (intake, compression, discharge) • What valve strips do in the suction and discharge valves • How damaged valves affect volume delivered vs. air quality vs. safety

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the flow of air if a suction or discharge valve cannot seal properly—does more or less air get compressed each stroke? • Would broken valve strips more likely change the amount of air delivered, the cleanliness of the air, or create an instant dangerous explosion? Why? • Consider whether the compressor can still run with broken valve strips, and what the most immediate and noticeable performance change would be.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the primary function of valve strips in a reciprocating compressor (sealing during intake and discharge). • Decide whether a failure to seal tightly affects capacity (CFM delivered), oil carryover, or crankcase conditions first. • Ask yourself which effect would be immediate and most directly linked to leaking or non‑seating valves.
