Q

Which of the following problems can occur if accumulating condensate is not drained off from a starting air receiver?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a starting air receiver and why moisture/condensate forms in it • Effects of water sitting inside a steel pressure vessel over time • What typically happens to metal, welds, and seams when exposed to standing water and compressed air

💭 Think About

• Think about what water trapped at the bottom of a steel air tank will do over months or years of service. • Ask yourself which option describes a long‑term, gradual problem inside the tank itself, not a short‑term change in pressure or temperature. • Consider whether each option is something you would normally associate with compressed air quality, tank integrity, or valve operation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes damage that happens inside the receiver shell rather than in external equipment. • Check which option matches a slow, progressive deterioration instead of an immediate operating symptom like a pressure change. • Verify which effect is most directly caused by water collecting at the lowest point of the tank where the drain is located.
