Question 115Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhich of the following statements describes what will occur if the annular spaces, indicated by the letter "K" of the device shown in the illustration, became restricted? Illustration MO-0112
AThe bowl will fail to close when starting and the unit will not shoot when operating.
BThe unit will not start due to pressure/time delay relays.
CThe bowl will fail to close, but the unit will be capable of shooting while in operation.
DOperating water will be supplied through port "S".
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The bowl will fail to close when starting and the unit will not shoot when operating. This is because the annular spaces indicated by the letter "K" are part of the pressure/time delay mechanism in the device. If these spaces become restricted, it will prevent the proper pressure buildup and timing required to close the bowl and allow the unit to operate. Without the bowl closing properly, the unit will not be able to shoot or function as intended. The other options are incorrect because B) and C) describe issues that would not be caused by a restriction in the annular spaces, and D) describes a different part of the device unrelated to the problem described in the question.
