: Diagnose and repair faults in pneumatic equipment Questions 1.

Explain the causes of overheating and how to solve the problem *For proper service, the filter element must be cleaned or replaced periodicall y. Frequency depends on ambient conditions. A dirty filter element can restrict air flow through the compressor, causing overloading and consequent overheating . *The motor is running hot this is when parts of the motor are rubbing into each other which causes the increase in heat. In order to solve this problem you lubr icate the motor or replace it. 2. Why is it necessary to drain the compressor tank? Moisture should be drained from the receiver regularly, especially in cold weat her to avoid problematic accumulation. 3. Before servicing the Compressor machine name four safeties precautions that must be observed Ensure that only those with the necessary knowledge, training and equipment does the operation Be alert for sounds of arcing (sizzling, sputtering or popping) inside the compr essor. Immediately get away if you hear these sounds. Disconnect all electrical power before removing the protective terminal cover Never energize the system unless- the protective terminal cover is securely fast ened, and the compressor is properly connected to the ground. 4. What materials should never be used on or around a Compressor Unit? 5. Explain one technique of how lubricating devices should be checked to ensure operation. 6. Explain what are: A. air Dryers - air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed

B. moisture separators - MOISTURE SEPARATORS. The moisture separator in a pne umatic system is always located downstream of the compressor. Its purpose is to remove any moisture caused by the compressor. A complete moisture separator cons ists of a reservoir, a pressure switch, a dump valve, and a check valve, and it may also include a regulator and a relief valve. The dump valve is energized and de-energized by the pressure switch. When de-energized, it completely purges th e separator reservoir and lines up to the compressor. The check valve protects t he system against pressure loss during the dumping cycle and prevents reverse fl ow through the separator C. moisture traps - A part of an air receiver that traps and drains away th e condensation formed due to reducing the air temperature in the receiver. D. Intercoolers - A component that cools air inside a compressor. An intercooler is a type of heat exchanger that also removes moisture. 7. List at least six (6) Check/inspect should be done with compressors. Explain

8. What are the pertinent questions you would ask when checking components if you unfamiliar with these components? 9. What safety precaution should be applied during the inspection? 10. Explain the types of instruments to diagnose the pneumatic system
