Question 107General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passFor a typical diesel engine jacket water cooling system, what location would be generally used to introduce water treatment chemicals?
AJacket water outlet header.
BJacket water inlet header.
CJacket water pump vent.
DJacket water expansion tank.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Jacket water expansion tank. The jacket water expansion tank is typically the location used to introduce water treatment chemicals into a diesel engine's jacket water cooling system. This is because the expansion tank serves as a reservoir for the cooling water, allowing easy access to introduce chemicals that will then circulate through the system. Introducing chemicals at the jacket water inlet or outlet headers would be less effective, as the chemicals would not have a chance to fully mix and circulate. Similarly, the jacket water pump vent is not an appropriate location, as it is not designed for chemical introduction.
