Question 582General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passReferring to the illustrated steam plant sea water cooling system drawing, what statement is true concerning sea water service system to auxiliary circulating sea water system cross-connect capability? Illustration SP-SW-01

The correct answer is A. In the event of an auxiliary circulating pump failure, multiple sea water service pumps may be used to supply both the sea water service system and auxiliary circulating sea water system heat exchangers. This is because the sea water service system and auxiliary circulating sea water system are cross-connected, allowing the sea water service pumps to provide backup supply to the auxiliary circulating system. The other options are incorrect because they either describe scenarios that are not supported by the information provided (options B, C, and D), or they do not accurately reflect the cross-connect capability between the sea water service system and auxiliary circulating sea water system (options B, C, and D).
