ASteam systems operating in excess of 150 psi
BFuel oil tank heating coils
CLaundry steam pressing machines
DGalley steam tables
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Steam systems operating in excess of 150 psi. Steam systems operating at pressures above 150 psi are considered high-pressure systems and can be a potential source for the high-pressure drain system on a vessel. The high-pressure drain system is designed to safely handle the discharge from these high-pressure steam systems. The other options, such as fuel oil tank heating coils, laundry steam pressing machines, and galley steam tables, typically operate at lower pressures and would not be considered high-pressure sources.
