Question 67Steam Plants - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) the accumulator. The gage glass on a coil-type auxiliary boiler is connected to the accumulator, which is a chamber that helps to maintain a steady water level in the boiler. The accumulator acts as a buffer, absorbing fluctuations in water level and ensuring a consistent supply of water to the heating coils. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the connection of the gage glass. The heating coil inlet and outlet (A) are part of the boiler's heating system but not the water level monitoring system. The surge chamber (B) and water softener (D) are separate components not directly connected to the gage glass.
