SECTION I
TEST QUESTIONS FOR ACETYLENE GENERATING PLANT
A.
Answer these questions by "True" or "False"
1.
If the supply water is at a temperature of 70 or above, it must be passed through the heat exchanger
F
2.
C2H2 is the formula for acetylene in the pure state but the impurities in our form of production changes the
formula to COC2H2(OH).
3.
The acetylene compressor is driven by a three phase motor.
4.
The air compressor discharges at approximately 40 psig.
5.
The purpose of the chock valve in the flashback arrestor is to prevent the water from draining back into the
6.
Always leave the resting position of the throat cleaner handle in the horizontal position so that there is no
possibility of the throat being collapsed during operation.
7.
There are four intercoolers to remove moisture in the acetylene compression system.
8.
Fusible plugs on the acetylene cylinder may be removed and replaced if defective by the operator.
9.
The air used in the safety control instruments fluctuates between 15 and 30 psig even though the compressor
puts out 40 psig.
11. The pulsator mechanism is employed to agitate the carbide valve.
12. The high and tow level alarm controller operates the residue drain valve.
13. The pressure setting for the standby hopper is two pounds lower than the acting on the operating hopper.
14. An increase in acetylene tank pressure causes the carbide valve to open wider and admit more carbide.
15. The inlet water valve must be kept closed during operation except when adding water to the compressor tank.
16. Make up water is delivered to the heat exchanger automatically during operation.
17. All water pumps are operated manually during normal operation.
18. All safety instruments must be adjusted daily to compensate for adverse operating conditions.
19. Acetone is used in acetylene cylinders because it acts as a stabilizing agent for acetylene.
20. Excessive pressure in the first or second stage of the acetylene compressor indicates valve trouble in the
next higher stage.
B.
