🔍 Key Concepts

• Carbon deposits in compressor valves are mainly formed from decomposed or burned lubricating oil. • Higher lubricating oil carryover (oil pumping) usually affects how much material is available to form deposits. • Compression temperature influences how fast oil breaks down, burns, or forms carbon

💭 Think About

• If you increase the amount of oil being carried into the compression space, what logically happens to the potential amount of carbon that can build up? • Does higher gas/valve temperature tend to make oil more stable and less likely to carbonize, or does it tend to break oil down faster? • Think about which combination of oil quantity and temperature would most realistically give you the worst carbon-fouling problem in real machinery.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each option’s description of oil pumping vs. deposit rate and decide which relationship makes physical sense. • Compare each option’s description of temperature vs. deposit rate and think about how temperature affects oil breakdown and coking. • Eliminate any answer where the direction of change (directly vs. inversely proportional) seems to contradict normal lubricating oil behavior at higher temperatures.

What statement is true concerning carbon deposit formation on reciprocating compressor cylinder valves?

The rate of carbon deposit formation is directly proportional to the extent of cylinder oil pumping and directly proportional to the cylinder compression temperatures.

The rate of carbon deposit formation is directly proportional to the extent of cylinder oil pumping and inversely proportional to the cylinder compression temperatures.
