🔍 Key Concepts

• Auxiliary boiler control devices and what they are designed to do (control vs. protect) • Internal construction of pressuretrols/pressure limit switches (how they sense pressure and operate contacts) • Difference between safety valves (pressure relief) and pressure controls (start/stop or limit firing)

💭 Think About

• Which device on a boiler actually opens to release steam to atmosphere, and which devices only open or close electrical contacts? • Think about what kind of mechanical sensing element is commonly used to convert pressure into motion for a control switch: is it usually a temperature element or a pressure-responsive element like a bellows or diaphragm? • Which option describes a control that stops/starts the burner on pressure, and which options are describing level control or temperature devices instead?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you separate pressure relief devices (safety valves) from pressure-operated electrical switches (they do not vent steam). • Verify which choice clearly mentions a mechanical pressure-sensing element connected to an electrical snap switch rather than temperature or water level sensing. • Eliminate any option that talks about high water level or temperature differentials, since those are not the primary function of pressure limit switches/pressuretrols.
