Question 2
Question
Which of the following is the correct procedure, when blowing down a boiler with both a quick-opening and a slow-opening blow-off valve?
Answer
open the slow opening valve, then open the quick opening valve, After blowing down: close the quick opening valve, then close the slow opening valve
open the quick opening valve, then open the slow opening valve, after blowing down: close the quick opening valve then close the slow opening valve
open the quick opening valve, then open the slow opening valve. after blowing down: close the slow opening valve then close the quick opening valve
open the slow opening valve, then open the quick opening valve. After blowing down: close the slow opening valve, then close the quick opening valve
it does not matter which valve is opened first, after blowing down: it does not matter which valve is closed first

Question 4
Question
A boiler explosion due to overheating of the heating surfaces may result from:
Answer
Improper furnace purge
A faulty low gas pressure switch
A low-water cut-off malfunction
combustion air switch failure
A faulty flame scanner
Question 5
Question
The purpose of the continuous blow-down connection is to:
Answer
Lower the concentration of dissolved solids in the boiler water
keep the water at the correct level in the gauge glass
keep the steam pressure correct
blow the sludge out of the mud drum
lower the boiler feed water flow to the boiler
Question 6
Question
The piping between the non-return valve and the stop valve has a drain valve:
1. To help warm up the header
2. To indicate if there is steam flowing from the boiler
3. To indicate the pressure in the line
4. To drain the condensate out of the header
