Steam Plants (Boilers & Turbines) USCG Question #504 (Set 17)

Constant capacity, pressure atomizing, fuel burners designed to meet a wide variation in steaming loads on an auxiliary boiler, are __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — cycled on and off in response to steam demand

Constant-capacity pressure-atomizing auxiliary boilers cannot easily modulate fuel flow while maintaining proper atomization, so they rely on automatic on-off cycling of the burner to match varying steam demands.
