Question 1 of 27070

The cargo pump relief valve is usually piped to which of the following components?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a relief valve on a cargo pump in a closed piping system • Where overpressure liquid should safely return without polluting the atmosphere • Typical cargo pump piping: suction side, discharge side, and any recirculation/bypass arrangements

💭 Think About

• If the relief valve opens, where should the excess liquid go so that pressure is reduced but the pump can still operate safely? • Which option would avoid venting cargo to the atmosphere and keep the system closed? • Think about whether the relief flow should go back to a low-pressure point or stay on the high-pressure side.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option maintains a closed cargo system and does NOT send liquid to the open air. • Check which point in the system is at lower pressure so it can safely receive flow from a high-pressure relief valve. • Confirm that the chosen component is something that can carry liquid, not a device meant only for indication (like a gauge).
