Which outcome results when compressed air system's pressure relief valve fails to reseat after an overpressure event?

💡 Explanation

When a relief valve fails to reseat, continuous leakage occurs because there's no sealing force, leading to system pressure dropping and the compressor working constantly to compensate. Therefore depressurization and overload result, rather than other effects needing different mechanisms like changes in temperature or resonant frequencies.
