← TechnologyWhich risk increases when uneven cylinder wear occurs during operation of a piston air compressor?
A)Increased valve plate leakage✓
B)Elevated intercooler temperatures
C)Reduced flywheel rotational speed
D)Decreased lubricating oil pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased leakage occurs because differential pressures drive flow across the worn piston rings through the blow-by mechanism. Therefore, valve plate leakage increases, rather than reduced flywheel speed which relates to mechanical imbalance issues and torque demands.
