Question 8

8. From the statement given below, choose the one which is accurate in relation to the operation of water-tube boiler and fire-tube boiler.
   A. A fire-tube boiler has a much better capability to work at a higher steam
   pressure.
   B. A water-tube boiler can tolerate a short period of time without any water when the boiler is operating.
   C. A fire-tube boiler does not require a non-return valve in the feed water line.
   D. Water-tube boilers are more effecient and generally contain less water than fire-tube boiler. They are prone to major damage when run dry during operation.
