Question 23Steam Plants - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passFluctuations in the atomizing steam pressure at the burners could be caused by a/an _______________.
Apartially opened recirculating valve
Bpartially closed atomizing fuel valve
Cincorrectly assembled air register
Dmalfunctioning steam trap in the atomizing steam system
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) malfunctioning steam trap in the atomizing steam system. A malfunctioning steam trap in the atomizing steam system can cause fluctuations in the atomizing steam pressure at the burners. The steam trap is responsible for removing condensate from the atomizing steam line, and if it is not working properly, it can lead to pressure variations. The other options are incorrect because: A) A partially opened recirculating valve would not affect the atomizing steam pressure. B) A partially closed atomizing fuel valve would impact the fuel flow, not the atomizing steam. C) An incorrectly assembled air register would affect the air supply, not the atomizing steam.
