🔍 Key Concepts

• Operation of automatic (springless) intake valves on reciprocating low-pressure air compressors • Meaning of pressure differential across a valve (higher vs lower pressure side) • What parts are mechanically actuated vs what parts move only from air pressure forces

💭 Think About

• Which choice describes a force that is always present and changing with suction conditions, so it can open the intake valve every stroke? • Do intake valves in most low-pressure reciprocating compressors usually have a direct mechanical linkage (push rods, rocker arms), or do they open automatically when cylinder pressure drops below some reference? • Which options talk about control or sensing devices rather than the actual pressure that is acting on the valve plate or element?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer mentions a pressure that actually exists right outside the intake valve during normal compressor operation. • Eliminate any answer that relies on electrical/remote sensing rather than direct pressure action on the valve itself. • Verify that the chosen pressure source would be present and correct even if all electrical controls failed and only basic compressor mechanics were operating.
