Diagram for USCG General Subjects Assistant: Referring to the illustrated single zone HVAC system diagram, what statement is...
AThe exhaust and outside air dampers are normally open and the recirculation damper is normally closed and all three dampers are controlled by a single pilot air signal.
BThe exhaust and outside air dampers are normally closed and the recirculation damper is normally open and each damper is controlled by its own pilot air signal.
CThe exhaust and outside air dampers are normally closed and the recirculation damper is normally open and all three dampers are controlled by a single pilot air signal.
DThe exhaust and outside air dampers are normally open and the recirculation damper is normally closed and each damper is controlled by its own pilot air signal.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. The explanation is as follows: 1) Answer A is correct because in a single zone HVAC system, the exhaust and outside air dampers are normally open to allow the flow of air, while the recirculation damper is normally closed to prevent recirculation of stale air. All three dampers are controlled by a single pilot air signal, which means they are operated together by the same control system. 2) This configuration is common in single zone HVAC systems to ensure proper air circulation and ventilation. The normally open exhaust and outside air dampers allow fresh air to enter the system, while the normally closed recirculation damper prevents the recirculation of stale air. 3) The other options are incorrect because they describe different damper configurations or control methods that are not typical for a single zone HVAC system.
