🔍 Key Concepts

• Role of the air intake filter in protecting compressor internals • Effects of dust, dirt, and foreign particles entering cylinders and valves • Difference between immediate damage vs. gradual/long-term problems

💭 Think About

• Think about what unfiltered air contains and which compressor parts it would touch first. • Would the main problem happen instantly, or build up over time as the compressor continues to run? • Which choice best describes a realistic, progressive effect of dirt in the air path inside a hot, high‑pressure machine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the choice that reflects a gradual internal effect, not necessarily instant failure. • Consider which parts are most directly exposed to dirty intake air (pistons? valves? intake passage?). • Ask yourself if an explosion is the most typical or likely first consequence of removing an intake filter.
