🔍 Key Concepts

• Low water in boiler hazards (overheating, potential furnace/boiler damage or explosion) • Correct sequence of actions when water is out of sight in the gage glass • Effects of adding relatively cool water to an overheated boiler

💭 Think About

• What is the most immediate danger when water level is out of sight in the gage glass—overpressure, low pressure, or overheated metal? • Before you can safely restore normal feed to the boiler, what must you do to stop the situation from getting worse? • In which answer choices is water added before you are sure the boiler metal is cooled and protected?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve adding water while the boiler may still be overheated. • Check which option focuses first on removing heat / reducing firing before any attempt to restore water level. • Verify which sequence best prevents thermal shock and protects against tube/furnace damage.
