← TechnologyWhich outcome results when compressed air system's pressure relief valve fails to reseat after an overpressure event?
A)System depressurization and compressor overload✓
B)Increased air temperature and condensation risk
C)Valve damage due to resonant vibration
D)Moisture accumulation and corrosion initiation
💡 Explanation
When a relief valve fails to reseat, continuous leakage occurs because there's no sealing force, leading to system pressure dropping and the compressor working constantly to compensate. Therefore depressurization and overload result, rather than other effects needing different mechanisms like changes in temperature or resonant frequencies.
