37
Q

What is the function of a thermometer on a water boiler?

A

Indicates temperature of water n the boiler, at or near the outlet or where the water returns .

38
Q

What is the function of the pressure gauge?

A

Indicates pressure before and after the pump.

39
Q

What is the function of the Flow control valve?

A

Prevents gravity circulation from occurring within the piping system.

40
Q

What is the function of the air scoop?

A

Promotes the elimination of air and other gases from the hot water heating system.

41
Q

What is the function of the automatic air vent?

A

Removes gases from the heating system

42
Q

What is the function of the expansion tank?

A

Allows for continuous expansion and contraction of water within a closed water heating system.

43
Q

What is the function of the Backflow device?

A

Stops reverse flow of boiler water back onto the domestic water system.

44
Q

What is the function of the Pressure-reducing valve?

A

Reduces the city water pressure to a desirable working pressure for closed hydronic heating systems.

45
Q

What is the function of the Circulator- inline circulation pump?

A

Circulates fluid within a how water heating system.

46
Q

If an operating control has a mercury switch how must it be installed?

A

In a level position

47
Q

What must a boiler be equipped with in addition to an operating temperature control ?

A

A safety limit

48
Q

What are the 2 types of switches used in the basic operation of a temperature control?

A

Mercury switch or a micro switch

49
Q

What are the 2 most common sensing elements found on aquastats?

A

Liquid bulb

Capillary tube

50
Q

How is a sensing bulb inserted?

A

Inserted directly into the boiler and sealed with a packing gland and composition disk, or with an immersion well.

51
Q

When can a surface-mounted aquastat be used?

A

If an opening is not provided.

52
Q

What is the adjustable set point for an indoor-outdoor proportional control?

A

21c-60c
70f-140f

53
Q

And indoor-outdoor proportional control has what reset ratio?

A

1:1
Boiler will increase by 1 degree for ever 1 degree outside drops.

54
Q

What kind of sensing element is used in an indoor-outdoor proportional control?

A

2 capillary tubes

One outside and one inside

55
Q

What 3 types of gauges are used in boiler trim?

A

57
Q

What is the most common pressure gauge with the widest range of applications?

58
Q

Where must a thermometer be located on a boiler?

A

Must be located so that it will at all times indicate the temperature of the water in the boiler at or near the outlet.

59
Q

Which 2 places must there be a thermometer on a boiler?

A

The supply and return mains

Separates gases from the water leaving a boiler.

62
Q

When should an air scoop be used?

A

When there is no location for a boiler fitting

63
Q

What is a Micro-Bubble Resorber
