Q

The level of the contaminated drain inspection tank continually decreases when steam is admitted to a fuel oil double bottom tank. You can expect __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• steam heating coils in fuel oil tanks and how they can fail • the path that condensate and leaked fluid would take to a contaminated drain inspection tank • the difference between a blocked (plugged) coil and a leaking / perforated coil

💭 Think About

• If the level in the contaminated drain inspection tank is going down when steam is turned on, where is the liquid most likely going? • Would a plugged heating coil change the level in the contaminated drain tank, or just affect heating performance? • How would a coil that is not tight (has holes or leaks) change what ends up in the contaminated drain inspection tank?

✅ Before You Answer

• Think about what a contaminated drain inspection tank normally collects and why its level would drop. • Decide whether a plugged coil would increase, decrease, or have no effect on drain tank level. • Confirm which condition would let fuel oil and/or condensate move out of the drain system into the double bottom tank, or vice versa.
