🔍 Key Concepts

• role of the air intake filter on a reciprocating air compressor • effects of dust and abrasive particles entering cylinders and valves • difference between mechanical wear vs. carbon deposits

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens inside the compressor when outside air with dirt, dust, and grit is drawn directly into the cylinders. • Which parts of the compressor are directly exposed to incoming air and would suffer first from unfiltered contaminants? • Consider which options describe a problem that would logically get better or worse based on air cleanliness, not fuel quality or pressure settings.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer choice clearly involves abrasive particles damaging surfaces. • Eliminate any choices that describe effects more related to combustion or fuel rather than incoming air quality. • Ask yourself which components (valves, pistons, liners) experience sliding or seating contact where dirt would accelerate wear.
