If a salinity alarm system indicates 2.5 grains per gallon at the main condensate pump discharge, your first action should be to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Condensate salinity alarms and what they indicate about seawater contamination in the cycle • Difference between instrument/alarm indication and chemical confirmation tests (like chloride tests) • Immediate actions vs. follow‑up/confirmatory tests when an alarm first sounds

💭 Think About

• When an alarm first activates, what is the safest way to verify whether the problem is real or an instrument fault? • Which option represents a quick, direct confirmation of actual salt content in the condensate, rather than changing the system conditions? • Which choices would permanently change boiler water chemistry or level before you even know if the alarm is accurate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option involves confirming the accuracy of the alarm before taking major corrective action • Eliminate any choice that adds chemicals or dumps boiler water without first confirming contamination • Think about what you would do immediately, within a minute or two of the alarm, using existing test equipment on board
