Circulator Pump Quiz

What is the purpose of the washers in the circulator's pump flanges?

• To maintain a watertight seal

• To increase water flow

• To reduce noise

• To enhance pump speed

What can be done to remove the pump without draining the system?

• Open the full bore valves

• Close the full bore valves

• Remove the washers

• Increase the pump speed

What is the importance of the correct positioning of the circulator in a system?

• To enhance water flow

• To avoid corrosion by aeration

• To increase system pressure

• To reduce noise levels

What can happen if air is drawn into the system water?

• The system will become more efficient

• Corrosion will take place

• The water will heat up faster

• The system will shut down

What is the purpose of adding an inhibitor to the system water?

• To increase the temperature

• To reduce corrosion and scale build-up

• To enhance water flow

• To decrease water pressure

Where is the neutral point of the system located?

• At the top of the hot feed

• At the base of the cold feed

• In the middle of the system

• At the end of the hot feed

What must the pump always draw on?

• Hot feed

• Neutral point

• Cold feed

• Vent

What happens if the circulator system is correctly followed?

• The system water will be circulated under a positive pressure.

• The system water will be circulated under a negative pressure.

• The system will stop working.

• The system will overheat.

What could occur if the circulator system is not followed correctly?

• The system will function normally.

• The system water could be circulated under a negative pressure.

• The system will become more efficient.

• The system will reduce corrosion.

Why is the position of the circulator important in a system requiring positive pressure?

• It affects the temperature of the system.

• It determines the flow rate of the system.

• It is crucial for maintaining the correct pressure in relation to the cold feed and vent pipe.

• It controls the energy consumption of the system.
