Question 15
The air we breath is composed mainly of?
Correct Answer
Nitrogen
Question 16
When exhaust air exceeds intake air________must be provided to replace the difference
Correct Answer

, Question 18
Dust separation is used for two objectives?
Correct Answer
Recover valuable product from plant processes that generate dust 2. Clean air to
stay in compliance with OSHA and EPA requirements
Question 19
What are the styles of Dust Separation equipment
Correct Answer
cyclone, shaker, reverse pulse, jet pulse
Question 20
What is media velocity
Correct Answer
the speed of the air as it moves through the filter media
Question 21
The four principles of air filtration are?
Correct Answer
Impingement, interception, diffusion, and straining
Question 22
When does Interception occur?
Correct Answer
When a dust particle follows air streams but still comes into contact with the fiber as
it passes around it. It is fiber size dependent and is enhanced when fiber and
particles are close in size
