Question 380 Deck General
70% to passCO2 cylinders, which protect the small space in which they are stored must _______________.
The correct answer is C) be automatically operated by a heat actuator. According to Coast Guard regulations, CO2 cylinders used to protect small spaces must be automatically operated by a heat actuator. This ensures that the CO2 is released quickly and effectively in the event of a fire, without requiring manual intervention. The CO2 cylinders are not required to have an audible alarm, and there is no limit on the amount of CO2 they can contain, as long as they are properly sized for the space they are protecting. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the Coast Guard requirements for CO2 cylinder installations in small spaces.
