MA Oil Burners Test Questions and Answers.
Air Heater. Answer- . An indirect-fired appliance intended to supply heated air for space
heating and other purposes, but not intended for permanent installation.
Air pressure switch . Answer- An electrical switch designed to prove that the proper draft has been established by the power venter or burner and allows the burner to operate. If the power venter or burner is not performing so as to satisfy the operating requirements of the equipment for safe performance, the switch will de-energize the burner control circuit preventing the burner from operating.
Anti-flooding Device Answer- . A primary safety control that causes the flow of fuel to be shut off upon a rise in fuel level or upon receiving excess fuel, and which operates before the hazardous discharge of fuel can occur
Appliances; industrial Answer- (a) Low-Heat Industrial Appliance. An industrial appliance such as a commercial cooking range, pressing machine boiler at any pressure, bake oven, candy furnace, stereotype furnace, drying and curing appliance, and other process appliances in which materials are heated or melted at temperatures (excluding flue-gas temperatures) not exceeding 600°F (316°C).
Appliances otherwise classed as medium-heat appliances may be considered as low-
heat appliances if not larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size excluding any burner equipment and blower compartment
(b) Medium-Heat Industrial Appliance Answer- (b) An industrial appliance such as an annealing furnace (glass or metal), charcoal furnace, galvanizing furnace, gas producer,
commercial or industrial incinerator, and steam boiler operating at over 50 psig (345 kPa) pressure when such appliance is larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size, and other furnaces classified as medium-heat appliances in accordance with recognized good practice
c) High-Heat Industrial Appliance. Answer- c. An industrial appliance such as billet and bloom furnace, blast furnace, brass melter, cupola, glass furnace, open-hearth furnace, and ceramic kiln and vitreous enamelizing oven (ferrous metals) when such appliances are larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size, and other furnaces classified as high-

Boiler, Hot Water Supply. Answer- A low-pressure hot water boiler having a volume exceeding 120 gallons (454 L), or a heat input exceeding 200,000 Btu per hour (58.6 kw) or an operating temperature exceeding 200°F (93°C) that provides hot water to be used externally to itself.
Boiler, Low Pressure Answer- A boiler for generating steam at pressures not in excess of 15 psig (103 kPa) or for furnishing water at a temperature not in excess of 250°F (121°C) at pressures not in excess of 160 psig (1103 kPa).
Burner, Automatically Ignited Answer- A burner equipped so that main burner fuel may be turned on and
ignited automatically
Burner, Manually Ignited. Answer- . A burner equipped so that main burner fuel is turned on only by hand and ignited under supervision.
Burner, Mechanical Draft Type. Answer- A burner that includes a power-driven fan, blower, or other mechanism as the primary means for supplying the air for combustion.
