Question 175Steam Plants - QMED70% to pass
A poorly cleaned lube oil purifier bowl may result in _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) improper separation.
A poorly cleaned lube oil purifier bowl can lead to improper separation of contaminants from the lube oil. This is because the purifier relies on precise clearances and filter media to effectively remove water, sludge, and other impurities from the oil. If the bowl is not properly maintained, the purification process will be compromised, resulting in contaminated oil being returned to the system.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly result from a poorly cleaned purifier bowl. Excessive lube oil consumption (A), excessive water discharge rate (C), and insufficient oil supply to the gravity tank (D) can be caused by other factors, such as leaks, mechanical issues, or improper system design, and are not specifically related to the purifier bowl cleanliness.
