What does antisurge valve do in compressors?
The compressor antisurge valve opens to bypass flow from discharge to suction. This allows the compressor to flow through bypass and keeps the compressor from surging (reverse flow thru compressor). The discharge pressure does not continue to build due to closed discharge conditions.
What could happen if a semi hermetic compressor is operated with the suction service valve backseated and the discharge valve frontseated?
the compressor capacity will increase
When should a reciprocating compressor not be energized?
the discharge service valve is closed.
In order to recover liquid refrigeration you must connect one hose to the?
If the hose is hooked to the compressor discharge it can cause it to blow up. It should be hooked to the liquid line.
Where is the only true suction line?
The line coming from the Discharge Line, which comes from the Compressor into the 4-Way Valve
Is air condition discharge hot to the touch?
Yes, the discharge line from the compressor can be hot.Yes, the discharge line from the compressor can be hot.
What will cause a marine air compressor high pressure relief valve to lift?
Excessive pressure in the compressor, after the first stage (or how ever many stages there are). Excessive pressure could be caused by shut/ blocked discharge valve. There will also be a relief valve fitted to the intercooler, should one of the tubes burst. This would let air into the water side and suddenly increase the pressure in the intercooler, so a relief valve is fitted.
where can i get a pilot valve?
where can i get a pilot valve for gas air compressor
What is the name of valve using in reciprocating compressor?
damber valve
what psi Does the air brake system safety relief valve open?
Yeah, that's not what it is.. the compressor is supposed to cut out between 115 and 130 psi.. at that point, the purge valve on the air dryer opens to discharge any oil and water accumulated.
What tool is used to install valve springs?
A valve spring compressor
Why should you never front seat the discharge service valve while a compressor is running?
This will cause the head pressure to climb very high and if something doesn't explode or cut out on a high pressure safety, you and the equipment will be damaged. Hopefully compressor will be one with internal or external overload. To summarize DONT DO IT WHILE COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING.
