Question 156Motor Plants - QMED
70% to passLube oil cannot be efficiently filtered if it’s_______________.
Apump capacity is greater than the system's needs
Bviscosity is too low
Cpump discharge pressure is higher than the system's pressure
Dtemperature is too low
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) temperature is too low. Lube oil needs to be at the appropriate temperature in order to be efficiently filtered. If the temperature is too low, the oil will have a higher viscosity, making it more difficult to pass through the filter media. This can reduce the filter's effectiveness and lead to increased pressure in the system. The other options are not directly related to the ability to efficiently filter the lube oil.
