🔍 Key Concepts

• Pressure gauge (item 1) shows what is happening to flow through the separator, especially resistance inside the tank • How flow restrictions (like clogged filters or coalescer packs) affect discharge/inlet pressure in a pump‑fed system • Relationship between open/closed valves and system pressure upstream of the restriction

💭 Think About

• If the gauge at item 1 is reading higher than normal during operation, does that usually indicate a blockage/restriction downstream, or an extra supply of liquid at the suction? • Which component in the separator tank module could become dirty over time and create extra resistance to flow through the tank? • What would happen to the pressure at item 1 if valve 14 were opened wider—would pressure upstream of that valve increase or decrease?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where item 1 is located in the flow path (relative to the pump, coalescer section, and outlet valve 14) • Decide which choice would most likely increase resistance to flow inside the separator, causing pressure to build at item 1 • Eliminate any options that would tend to reduce backpressure at the separator rather than increase it
