Question 1 of 27070

Steam drains from fuel oil heating coils can be returned to the condensate and feed water system __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose and function of a drain inspection tank in a marine steam system • Why contamination control of condensate and feedwater is critical to boiler operation • Normal flow path of steam heating coil drains before they re-enter the main condensate/feed system

💭 Think About

• If fuel oil heating coils develop a leak, where could fuel oil end up, and how would the system detect and isolate that contamination? • Which option allows you to visually check or monitor the condition of the drains before they mix with the general condensate and feedwater? • Think about which connection would be safest for the boiler if an oil leak occurred in the fuel heater coils.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which choice provides a point where drains can be observed and tested for oil before reuse? • Which options would send potentially oily condensate directly back into the boiler system without inspection? • Make sure the path you choose lines up with standard boiler contamination prevention practices on steam ships.
