Which risk increases when cylinder runaway occurs in a reciprocating air compressor?

💡 Explanation

During cylinder runaway, the rapid recompression causes extremely high temperatures, therefore thermal runaway occurs because the adiabatic compression overwhelms cooling, rather than knock resulting in reduced sensitivity. The increased heat then exceeds the piston material limits.
