Question 1 of 27070

Air receivers installed in starting air systems are to be __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Construction and installation requirements for starting air system air receivers • Purpose of drain connections and moisture removal in compressed air systems • How trim and list can affect the lowest point in a pressure vessel or piping

💭 Think About

• Think about which choice describes a condition that must be true at all times, including when the vessel is trimmed or listed, for safe and reliable air starting operation. • Ask yourself: where will water and oil actually collect inside an air receiver when the ship is pitching, rolling, or trimmed by the bow or stern? • Consider which option is more about inspection practice or extra equipment, and which option is about a fundamental installation requirement of the receiver itself.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly ensures that condensate can always drain from the lowest point of the air receiver under all operating conditions. • Check which answers describe nice-to-have features versus a mandatory design/installation requirement in marine practice. • Make sure the option you choose addresses the effect of vessel trim and list on the effectiveness of drain connections.
