🔍 Key Concepts

• Automatic combustion control (ACC) maintains steam drum/header pressure by adjusting fuel and air flow. • The sensing line carries the pressure signal from the boiler/header to the controller. • Consider what the controller "thinks" happens to pressure if a sensing line is opened to a non‑pressurized space on the idle boiler.

💭 Think About

• If the sensing line on the idle boiler is opened, what pressure does the controller see on that line compared to actual steam pressure? • When ACC believes steam pressure is too low, does it increase or decrease fuel to the firing boiler? How does that change actual steam pressure? • Does this faulty pressure signal act directly on boiler water level, or only indirectly through firing rate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether ACC is primarily a pressure control or water‑level control system. • Decide whether an opened sensing line makes the controller see higher or lower pressure than real. • Ask: Will the immediate controlled variable affected be steam pressure or drum water level? Focus on the first‑order effect.
