Question 371General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passAccording to 46 CFR regulations pertaining to periodic tests and inspections as related to automatic auxiliary boilers, flame safeguard controls must be checked for proper shutdown operation. Which of the following must be checked? 1
AIgnition failure. 3
BVisual indication of shutdown. 5
CA
DB
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Ignition failure. According to 46 CFR regulations, flame safeguard controls on automatic auxiliary boilers must be checked for proper shutdown operation, which includes verifying that the controls will shut down the boiler in the event of an ignition failure. This is a critical safety requirement to ensure that the boiler does not continue to operate without a proper flame, which could lead to dangerous conditions. The other options are incorrect because visual indication of shutdown (B) is not a specific requirement, and checking both ignition failure and visual indication (D) would be redundant.
