For very low pressure and high discharge rate, the compressor used is a/an ______________ compressor?
Correct answer: C. Rotary
- A. Axial
- B. Reciprocating
- C. Rotary
- D. None of these
Explanation
Rotary compressors are suited to relatively low-pressure service with large discharge rates and provide steadier flow than reciprocating machines. Reciprocating compressors are preferred when high pressure and lower flow are required.
