70% to passIf item "F" begins leaking during operation, which of the following operating conditions will NOT occur? Illustration MO-0112
AThe unit will not properly operate and should automatically shut down.
BThe oil/water interface will remain in the same neutral position.
CThe oil/water interface will move outward from the vertical axis of the machine.
DThe water seal will be lost.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The oil/water interface will remain in the same neutral position. If item "F" begins leaking during operation, the oil/water interface will move outward from the vertical axis of the machine (option C), as the leakage will disrupt the balance between the oil and water. This will cause the water seal to be lost (option D), and the unit will not properly operate and should automatically shut down (option A). However, the oil/water interface will not remain in the same neutral position, as the leakage will alter the balance and cause the interface to shift outward from the vertical axis.
