Place the following operational stages of a basic reciprocating air compressor in their proper sequential order, starting with the introduction of fresh air into the system.
- 1The piston moves downward, creating a low-pressure area that draws ambient air into the cylinder through the open inlet valve.
- 2The inlet valve shuts completely as the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke, trapping the air inside.
- 3The piston moves upward, steadily reducing the volume of the trapped air and causing its internal pressure to rise.
- 4The high pressure forces the outlet valve open, pushing the newly compressed air into the storage tank.
Cevap
The correct operational sequence begins with the intake of ambient air, followed by the sealing of the inlet valve, then the compression of the trapped air, and finally the discharge of the pressurized air into the tank.
A basic reciprocating compressor operates in a continuous four-stage loop: it draws air in (intake), seals the chamber, squeezes the air into a smaller volume to build pressure (compression), and then pushes that pressurized air out to a tank (discharge).
