Question 126Steam Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn addition to a nozzle, a fuel oil atomizer uses which of the listed parts?
ABurner cone
BAir cone
CSprayer plate
DIgnition electrode
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Sprayer plate. A fuel oil atomizer uses a sprayer plate in addition to a nozzle to effectively atomize the fuel oil before it enters the burner. The sprayer plate helps break up the fuel oil into fine droplets, allowing for more efficient combustion within the burner. The other options are incorrect because a burner cone is part of the burner assembly, not the atomizer, air cones are used in air-atomizing systems, and the ignition electrode is part of the ignition system, not the atomizer.
