Which of the following does not occur during the intake stroke of a reciprocating compressor?
A. Pressure drops
B. Vapor enters cylinder
C. Suction valve opens
D. Discharge valve opens

Answer (2)

During the intake stroke of a reciprocating compressor, vapor enters the cylinder, the suction valve opens, and pressure drops, while the discharge valve remains closed. This is crucial for an effective compression cycle. The only action that does not occur during this stroke is the opening of the discharge valve. ;
