  1. Compressor governor tanks1 of 2

    What does the air compressor governor do when tank pressure reaches the cut-out level?

    The answer

    Answer: C. At the cut-out point, roughly 125 psi, the governor halts compressor output so the tanks do not keep rising. When pressure later falls to the cut-in point, about 100 psi, it lets the compressor pump again. Opening the safety valve is a separate protection that works only if the pressure keeps climbing past the governor's setting, and draining the tanks is a manual job done at the end of the day.

    What is the job of the air compressor in an air brake system?

    The answer

    Answer: D. The compressor is the system's source of compressed air, feeding the reservoirs that the brakes draw from. It is driven by gears or a belt and may be cooled by air or by the engine cooling system. Measuring wheel pressure, releasing spring brakes and drying the supply line are jobs for other parts such as gauges, the supply control and the dryer.
