🔍 Key Concepts

• Unloading of an air compressor – what it means in terms of work done by the compressor pistons • How intake (suction) valve lifters change the compression cycle • Difference between a deliberate unloader device and a relief/safety vent on an intercooler

💭 Think About

• For statement I, picture what happens inside the cylinder if the intake valve is held off its seat during the compression stroke. Is the air actually being compressed, or does it flow somewhere else? • For statement II, think about the purpose of relieving the intercooler to atmosphere. Is it mainly for unloading the compressor, or is it for protecting equipment from overpressure? • Ask yourself: does each method prevent the compressor from building pressure in its stages, or does it just get rid of pressure after it has already been built?

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify in your mind that true unloading usually means the pistons are doing little or no compression work, not just that pressure is dumped later. • For each statement, decide: Does this act on the suction valve/cycle itself, or is it just venting stored air? • Verify from your notes whether intercooler relief valves are classified as unloader devices or as safety/pressure-control devices.
