(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: B

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: C
All pressure-relief valves are set 50 higher than the system working pressure (e.g., set at 75 psi for a 50-psi system pressure).

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: A
Subtract 10 lb from 20 lb = 10 lb. Convert 10 lb/2.5 lb/L= 4 L. 4  860 = 3440 L. Then divide by the flow 3440 L/3 L/min = 1146 minutes, or 19 hours.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: C
Subtract 10 lb from 38 lb = 28 lb. Convert 28 lb/2.5 lb/L = 11.2 lb. 11.2 lb  860 = 9632 L. Then divide by liter flow: 9632 L/6 L/min = 1605 minutes, or 27 hours.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: B
A flexible diaphragm is attached to a piston to compress gas. As the piston moves down, the di-aphragm is bent outward and gas is drawn through a one-way valve into the cylinder. Upward movement of the piston forces the gas out of the cylinder through a separate one-way outflow valve. Examples of diaphragm compressors are the Air Shields Diapump and the DeVilbiss small nebulizer compressor.

(Answer to Q. 6)  ANS: C
Rotary compressors use a rotating vane to compress air from an intake valve. As the rotating vane turns, gas is drawn into the cylinder through a one-way valve (Figure 3-16). The rotor turns, which causes the gas to be compressed as the oval-shaped cylinder becomes smaller. The com-pressed gas is then forced out of the compressor through another one-way outflow valve. Low-pressure rotary compressors are used in ventilators such as the Bennett MA-1. Piston com-pressors use the action of a motor-driven piston to compress atmospheric air. The piston is seated within a cylinder casing and is sealed to it with a carbon or Teflon ring. Figure 3-14 illustrates the operational principle of a typical piston air compressor used to power a mechanical ventilator.

(Answer to Q. 7)  ANS: B
18 lb/2.5 lb/L=7.2 L. 7.2 L  860 = 6192 L/2 L/min = 3096 minutes, or 51 hours 36 minutes, which is 2 days 3 hours 36 minutes. So it would have to be filled on Wednesday.

(Answer to Q. 8)  ANS: B
One liter of oxygen weighs 2.5 lb. 2.5 lb  16 oz/lb = 40 oz.
