Question 286Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passThe port "X" shown in the illustration allows water to enter the adjoining chamber. During what cycle of operation will this occur? Illustration MO-0112
AOperating backflush cycle
BBowl retention cycle
CClarification cycle
DSludge discharge cycle
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Sludge discharge cycle. During the sludge discharge cycle, the port "X" shown in the illustration allows water to enter the adjoining chamber. This is because the sludge discharge cycle is designed to expel accumulated sludge from the separator, and the port "X" facilitates this process by allowing water to enter and flush out the sludge. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not relate to the sludge discharge cycle. The operating backflush cycle, bowl retention cycle, and clarification cycle do not involve the specific function of the port "X" as described in the question.
