Diagram for USCG Motor Plants Assistant: The device shown in the illustration is a_______________. Illustration MO-0008
Arotary type mist detector, designed for use in four-stroke, high-speed diesel engines
Bphotoelectric, explosive gas indicator, for use in high-speed, two-stroke, trunk type piston engines
Ccomparator type mist detector for large low-speed, crosshead type engines
Dlevel type explosimeter, for small medium-speed, trunk type piston engines
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) comparator type mist detector for large low-speed, crosshead type engines. This is the correct answer because the device shown in the illustration, MO-0008, is a comparator type mist detector, which is typically used in large, low-speed, crosshead type engines. Comparator type mist detectors are designed to monitor the oil mist concentration in the crankcase of these types of engines to detect potential lubrication issues. The other answer choices describe different types of devices that are not applicable to the device shown in the illustration. For example, option A describes a rotary type mist detector for high-speed diesel engines, while option B describes a photoelectric, explosive gas indicator for two-stroke, trunk type piston engines. Option D refers to a level type explosimeter for small, medium-speed, trunk type piston engines, which is also not the correct device.
