Question 22Steam Plants - QMED
70% to passFuel piping should be regularly inspected for leaks. What leak location would be particularly troublesome in terms of presenting a fire hazard?
AFuel oil service pump shaft seal.
BFuel oil service pump discharge strainer.
CFuel oil service pump suction strainer.
DFuel oil transfer pump suction strainer.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Fuel oil service pump discharge strainer. A leak at the fuel oil service pump discharge strainer would be particularly troublesome in terms of presenting a fire hazard. This is because the fuel oil is under pressure at this point in the system, which increases the risk of the leaking fuel spraying or misting and creating a potential ignition source. The other locations listed (fuel oil service pump shaft seal, fuel oil service pump suction strainer, and fuel oil transfer pump suction strainer) are not under the same high pressure, so a leak at those points would pose a lower fire risk.
