Q

When the compressed air reservoir is placed in line with an air compressor and is used as an aftercooler, what must be done with the reservoir?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of an aftercooler in a compressed air system • What happens to moisture in compressed air when it is cooled • Routine maintenance/safety requirements for air receivers and reservoirs

💭 Think About

• When air leaves the compressor hot and then is cooled in a reservoir, what happens to the water vapor contained in that air? • Among the options, which action deals directly with the by‑product that forms when warm, moist compressed air is cooled? • Which fittings (sight glass, manhole, moisture trap, drain) are typical and practical for a pressure vessel used simply as an in‑line cooler?

✅ Before You Answer

• Think about how water is removed from a compressed air system after cooling. • Consider which option reflects a regular operating/maintenance task rather than a special construction feature. • Ask: which fitting or procedure is most critical to prevent water carryover and internal corrosion in the system?
