1.

To make sure that the demand for steam is properly met, the supply of fuel and air to the boiler must be adjusted to reflect changers in the boiler load.

a)

true

b)

false

2.

What is the function of the burners in boilers?

a)

Burners inject a mixture of fuel and air into the combustion area of a boiler.

b)

Burners are needed to change the liquid oil to a mist.

c)

Burners transfer heat through electromagnetic waves

3.

What is the function of the spuds in a typical gas burner?

a)

inject gas into the burner

b)

cause the air entering the burner to swirl, thus mixing thoroughly with the fuel

c)

regulate the amount of air that enters the burner

d)

start the burning process

4.
What is a fire-tube boiler? 
a)
hot gases go into water, creating a mixture of exhaust and steam
b)
hot gases pass through a water pipe that provides heat to the surroundings
c)
hot gases pass through fire-tubes, which continue to the burner
d)
hot gases pass through steel tubes surrounded by water, and the water is thus heated by the hot gases
5.
What is a water-tube boiler?
a)
water is passed through steel tubes surrounded by exhaust (gases), and the water is then heated by the hot gases
b)
hot gases pass through tubes surrounded by water, and the water is thus heated by the hot gases
c)
water runs through the boiler and out the safety valves
d)
water is outside the pipes and is heated up by the exhaust (gases)
6.

What is the function of the impeller?

a)

inject gas into the burner

b)

cause the air entering the burner to swirl, thus mixing thoroughly with the fuel

c)

regulate the amount of air that enters the burner

d)

start the burning process

7.

What is the function of dampers in a typical gas burner?

a)

inject gas into the burner

b)

cause the air entering the burner to swirl, thus mixing thoroughly with the fuel

c)

regulate the amount of air that enters the burner
