Question

Tech A says that air tools and equipment require a regular application of a lubricating oil to reduce wear and tear. Tech B says that some compressed air systems use an inline water trap that needs to be drained periodically. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Incomplete question. The options read;

A. Tech A

B. Tech B

C. Both A and B

D. Neither A nor B.

Answer:

C. Both A and B

Explanation:

Technician B is correct because the technician highlighted valid reasons why draining the compressed air systems is important.

For example, since this system helps to absorb moisture or oil from storage areas they thus need to be drained periodically in other to allow for more absorption space.

Also, the reasons mentioned by Technician A are of course correct because it is generally believed that the application of lubricants such as oil helps to reduce wear and tear.
