FDNY A35 PREMIUM TEST BANK WITH
EXPERT SOLUTIONS
● Examples of equipment powered by air compressor. Answer:
pneumatic wrenches, lifts in auto service stations, paint spray booths
● Air compressors enable.... Answer: (1) efficient repair of all types of
vehicles; and (2) facilitate their safe operation on public thoroughfares
● Permit is required for air compressor. Answer: that compresses air
above 100 PSI
● Types of air compressors. Answer: (1) reciprocating;
(2) centrifugal;
(3) solar; and
(4) rotary
*Difference is the way in which they compress air
● How do air compressors work. Answer: take the air in a room and
force it into a container UNDER PRESSURE. The more air forced into
, the container, the greater the pressure. Compressed air can be discharged
from the container at a controlled rate.
● Most common air compressor. Answer: Reciprocating
● Air compressors are sometimes called. Answer: air pumps
● Air compressors can be powered by:. Answer: (1) electric motors;
(2) internal combustion engines; or
(3) steam turbines
● Explosions & air compressors. Answer: If there is a build up of
flammable gases (ex: in service stations and workshops), those gases are
heavier than air and fall to the floor before spreading outward. These
gases are easily ignited by sparks and high temperatures--which
INCLUDES the heat generated by an air compressor.
● To avoid explosions w/ air compressors. Answer: Raise air compressor
at LEAST 5 feet above ground level so that no flammable gases are
drawn into the compressor. To meet the height requirement you can
place compressor on a shelf or bench OR the air receiver tank may be
turned and stood on end w/ the air compressor bolted to the top of the
tank.
