An automatically fired auxiliary boiler with carbon deposits formed on its burner electrodes, will experience __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Auxiliary boiler ignition system operation in an automatically fired boiler • Effect of carbon deposits on electrodes used for spark ignition • Difference between problems that occur before ignition vs. after stable flame is established

💭 Think About

• Think about what the burner electrodes are specifically used for in an automatic boiler system. If they’re dirty with carbon, what part of the combustion process is affected first? • Which of the listed problems would happen if you never get a proper spark, versus which would happen if you had a weak or unstable flame after it was already lit? • Consider whether carbon deposits would mainly interfere with the creation of the flame, or with the flame’s stability once burning.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the primary function of burner electrodes (ignition vs. flame stability vs. fuel flow). • Decide whether carbon buildup is more likely to prevent sparking altogether or to change the flame pattern after ignition. • Eliminate choices that describe conditions that occur after a flame is already well established in the furnace.
