Question 175General Subjects - QMED
70% to passA grease gun is generally used to lubricate a _______________.
Amain turbine bearing
Bcondensate pump ball bearing
Cdiesel engine wrist pin bearing
Dgenerator crosshead bearing
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) condensate pump ball bearing. A grease gun is a tool used to apply grease lubricant to bearings and other friction points in machinery. Condensate pumps, which are commonly found in marine steam systems, have ball bearings that require periodic lubrication with a grease gun. This helps reduce friction and wear on the pump components. The other options are incorrect because main turbine bearings, diesel engine wrist pin bearings, and generator crosshead bearings typically do not use grease gun lubrication. These components may use other lubricating methods such as oil circulation systems.
