Which set of steps are taken when an inspector notices that the air gauge on a freezer
is lower than the air gauge on a supply/air compressor?
The air line in service is shut down and the ice block is removed. If the ice block cannot
be totally removed then the alternate air line is opened and used.
The dry valve or pre-action system is shut down and the air lines are dismantled to
remove the ice block.
The gauges are replaced with new gauges. If the gauges still do not match pressure,
the alternate air line is opened to increase pressure.
The inspector takes the in-service air line out of service and the alternate air line is
opened to equalize the pressure on the system. The out-of-service air line is taken apart
and the ice block is removed and used as future alternate air line. - Correct Answer ✔✔
