Electric Boilers

Question 1

An immersion type of electric boiler:
Passes current through the water
Generates heat utilizing a bundle of heating elements
Does everything shown here
Depends on water level to regulate steam production

Answer 1

Generates heat utilizing a bundle of heating elements

Question 2

In an electrode type of electric boiler:
Current decreases as pressure drops
Current increases as the generating zone level drops
More steam is generated when the generating zone level drops
Electrical current decreases as pressure goes up

Answer 2

Electrical current decreases as pressure goes up

Question 3

Electrode type boilers:
Self regulate steam pressure
Require complex control systems
Require microprocessor control
Require electrodes to be totally immersed in water

Answer 3

Self regulate steam prest

Question 4

Water level in the generating zone of an electrode type boiler:
Has no effect on pressure
Is maintained by means of a feedwater regulator
Is constant
Is governed by feedwater flow
Is governed by load fluctuations

Answer 4

Is governed by load fluctuations
