Marine Boiler Operation Quiz

What is the primary focus during the startup phase of a boiler?

• Increasing fuel supply

• Shutting down the boiler

• Bringing the boiler to a safe and stable operating condition

• Reducing load

Which parameter must be monitored to prevent overheating during startup?

• Flame stability

• Water level

• Fuel and air ratio

• Pressure relief

What should be done to ensure safe and controlled shutdown of a boiler?

• Turn off all safety devices

• Gradually reduce the boiler load

• Increase pressure rapidly

During parallel load operation, what is essential to maintain?

• Different steam pressures

• Equal load distribution

• Variable water levels

• Flame instability

What is a key safety consideration for personnel involved in combustion adjustments?

• Regular breaks

• Thorough training on boiler operations

• Working without supervision

• Ignoring safety procedures

What should be continuously monitored to prevent incomplete combustion?

• Water levels

• Oxygen levels in flue gas

• Steam pressure

• Fuel temperature

What is the purpose of data logging in boiler operation?

• To record parameter values for analysis

• To reduce operator training
