Csimilar to those used in sonar systems
Dessential in monitoring the amount of water entering the separator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) located in the oil outlet piping. The water transducer in the illustration is used to monitor the amount of water in the oil outlet piping of the system. This is a critical component to ensure that the separator is functioning properly and not allowing excessive water to pass through with the oil. The water transducer is a sensor that can detect the presence and level of water in the outlet, allowing the system to be adjusted or shut down if necessary to prevent water contamination. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the water transducer is not a variable DC output device, C) it is not similar to sonar transducers, and D) while it is essential for monitoring water, it is located in the outlet piping, not the inlet.
