Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of having multiple boilers in larger steam systems?

  • To increase the steam pressure
  • To reduce the number of steam headers
  • To decrease the thermal capacity
  • To provide redundancy and additional capacity (correct)
  • In what condition is the boiler when it is being brought online?

  • Cold and at normal operating pressure
  • Hot and at reduced pressure
  • Hot and at normal operating pressure
  • Cold and at reduced pressure (correct)
  • How are the different steam headers identified in a high-pressure steam plant?

  • By the equipment they supply steam to
  • By the pressures at which they operate (correct)
  • By the temperature at which they operate
  • By the size of the pipes they are connected to
  • What can happen if headers and piping are not properly warmed up in a steam plant?
