🔍 Key Concepts

• Oily water separator operation and how it keeps oil from being pumped overboard • Difference between interface/level sensing and temperature sensing in control circuits • How a weir plate and sensing probes are used together to switch between recirculate and discharge modes

💭 Think About

• Look at where the short sensing element marked "S" is physically located in the tank in Fig. A – is it near the oil–water interface, at the top vapor space, or near any heating element? • Compare the operation shown in Figs. B, C, and D: when the level of oil or water changes, which valves change position, and which mode (recirculation vs. discharge) is affected? • Ask yourself: would corrosion‑protection anodes or temperature bulbs normally be shown as paired, vertical probes close to a weir in an oily water separator schematic?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the legend at the bottom of GS‑0113 says about oil vs. water flow in each figure and relate that to the position of the sensing elements. • Check whether anything in the diagram indicates a temperature control loop (heater symbol, steam or electric supply, temperature controller) connected to the short sensing element. • Confirm whether the short sensing probe at "S" changes the system from recirculation to overboard discharge or simply maintains level relative to the weir plate.

Question 1 of 20

In the illustrated device, what is the function of the short sensing element attached to "S" in figure "A"? See illustration GS-0113.

It senses temperature for use in the temperature control circuit.

It is used to maintain liquid level one inch below the weir plate.

Both sensing elements are anodes used to provide the tank with corrosion protection.

It is used to control the oil discharge mode.
