Low-speed motors and air nozzles
- C.
Cups and high-speed motors
- D.
Low-speed motors and cups
Correct Answer
C. Cups and high-speed motorsExplanation
The characteristic parts of a rotary oil burner are cups and high-speed motors. Cups are responsible for holding the oil and delivering it to the burner, while high-speed motors are used to rotate the cups and create a fine mist of oil for combustion. The other options mentioned, such as nozzles and low-speed motors, are not typically associated with rotary oil burners.Rate this question:

The shape of the flame can be altered from short and bushy to long and narrow in a horizontal rotary burner by
- A.
Interchangable cups and changing fan speeds
- B.
Interchangable cups and air nozzles
- C.
Changing pump pressure and fan speed
- D.
Changing pump pressure and air nozzles
Correct Answer
B. Interchangable cups and air nozzlesExplanation
The shape of the flame in a horizontal rotary burner can be altered by using interchangeable cups and air nozzles. By changing the cups, which control the fuel flow, and the air nozzles, which control the air flow, the size and shape of the flame can be adjusted. This allows for flexibility in achieving different flame characteristics, from short and bushy to long and narrow. The combination of interchangeable cups and air nozzles provides the necessary control over both fuel and air supply to modify the flame shape as desired.Rate this question:

The firing rate of small combination burners may be
- A.
Low and high firing
- B.
Variable firing
- C.
Straight on-off firing
- D.
Timed delay firing
Correct Answer
C. Straight on-off firingExplanation
The correct answer is "straight on-off firing". This means that the small combination burners have a firing rate that is either fully on or fully off, with no variability in between. This type of firing is often used in applications where a constant and consistent flame is required, such as in industrial processes or heating systems.Rate this question:

What component on a gas valve train does the oil pump eliminate on an oil valve train?
- A.
Safety shutoff valve (SSOV)
- B.
Pressure regulator valve (PRV)
- C.
High pressure control
- D.
Low pressure control
Correct Answer
B. Pressure regulator valve (PRV)Explanation
The oil pump eliminates the need for a pressure regulator valve (PRV) on an oil valve train. The oil pump is responsible for supplying oil to the system, and it controls the pressure of the oil flow. Therefore, there is no need for a separate PRV to regulate the pressure in the system.Rate this question:

What positions are the oil valves when starting up an oil burner?
- A.
Open the supply valve and close the return valve
- B.
Close the supply valve and open the return valve
- C.
Open both valves
- D.
Close both valves
Correct Answer
C. Open both valvesExplanation
When starting up an oil burner, it is necessary to open both valves. This allows the supply valve to provide fuel to the burner, while the return valve allows any excess or unused fuel to be circulated back to the fuel tank. By opening both valves, the oil burner can receive the necessary fuel supply and operate efficiently.Rate this question:
