HYDRAULICS AND PNEUMATICS

- Pilot to open Check Valve

- Description of pilot and draining valve is: Normally Open Pressure Reducing Valve.
- Unloading Valves: 2 Pumps, Normally Closed, Needs Check Valves.
- What is the symptom of Oxidation: Chemical Reaction
- Valve element (spool) has brown spots on it: Stained from Additives
- Loud operation at the pump, and Low oil in the tank: Aeration at the Pump.
- The size of hose to fit on the #12 fitting: Hose
- The JIC 37 degree flared fitting has a: 37 degree centerline angle.
- The Actuator has slowed down because the: Piston seals failed.
- What allows the pump to dump back to the reservoir: The Unloading Valve.
- The pressure relief valve is located: Directly after the pump.
- Quick Exhaust Valve (ANSI)

- Actuator Annulus: Piston Area - Rod Area = Annulus Area

- Intensifier First Step: F=AxP Second Step: P=F/A
- Accumulator 3 Gallons/25 Seconds = 0.12gps X 60 seconds = 7.2GPM
COMPRESSORS/REFRIGERATION/EXCHANGES

- Which lobe design is more efficient? 2 or 3: The 3 lobe design is more efficient.
- How are screw compressors driven? Self driven and Gear driven.
- Absorption dryers use desiccant & also achieve the lowest dew point of all dryers.
- The type of compressor in refrigeration is: Reciprocating.
- The compressors job in the recycling process is to maintain: low pressure in
Evaporator and high pressure in condenser.
- Baffles are added to: The channel head to increase the number of passes thru the
exchanger.
- In Lithium bromide question about refrigerant, The answer is: Water is the refrigerant.
- Changing water to vapour = Latent heat of vaporization.
- Fibrous insulation = Air gaps
- The lithium bromide system shuts down: Has to go to the dilution cycle so it won't
crystallize and plug the lines.
- Question about where the fouling is located: Fouling is confined to deposits on the
stator blade.
- Wet Screw compressors, how is the seal formed: Oil film separates the two rotors as
they turn and seal the inlet from the discharge.
- If the flow thru the compressor is to slow: Surging occurs.
- Where is the air inlet on a centrifugal compressor: The impeller eye
-
ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL ALIGNMENT

- Electrically operated solenoid fails closed. The actuator will: drop out or extend.

- The stop switch is closed: It will open when a portion of the circuit opens.
- Working on power equipment, what do you shutdown and the order: Shut Off all power
and control sources before starting work.

-
- 2 Electrical questions are identical: The limit switch is faulty or not working.
- What do you test after shutting off a switch: Test the load side of the switch as the
switches are prone to failure & you could still have power after shutting it off.
- Elevation: EL + BS = HI and HI - FS = EL
- What is a sighting plate or block used for: It is used to align a position thru opening
when using optical equipment.
- Jig transit - for vertical reference plane.
- Theodolite - For angular lines of sight and horizontal plane.
- What coupling fault could cause error when doing laser alignment: Torsional Shaft
Movement
- What is used to step up or down voltage: A Transformer
