CORRECT ANSWER Is used in *Stationary Equipments*,
Two purposes:
a) *Fuel Emergency Generators*
b) *Fuel Equipment used to heat the building*
2.- What *COF is required* to supervise the *Fuel-oil transfer in the building
from one floor to another?* -CORRECT ANSWER *P-98 and maintain all
qualifications and comply w/ requirements applicable to such certificate holder*
*The P-98 COF is premise-related*
3.- The use of the word *should* refers to: -CORRECT ANSWER *Polices,
procedures and / or best practices recommended by the FDNY*
4.- The use of the word *shall* refers to: -CORRECT ANSWER
*Requirement of the Fire Code or the FDNY*
5.- *Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation*
Shall be under the *GENERAL SUPERVISION* of P-98: -CORRECT
ANSWER *A stationary fuel-oil storage tank, related piping, that is installed on
the lowest floor of the building and transfer fuel-oil through piping to another
stationary fuel-oil storage tank, or fuel burning equipment, installed above such
floor*
,6.- *Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation*
Shall be under the *PERSONAL SUPERVISION* of P-98 COF shall be? -
CORRECT ANSWER *Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping*
7.- *Maintenance Requirements*
Fuel-oil storage tanks and piping *shall be inspected* for any evidence of
leaks? -CORRECT ANSWER *Weekly*
8.- *Maintenance Requirements*
Fuel-oil storage tanks *shall have their float switches tested* to ensure that they
are in good working order at least? -CORRECT ANSWER *Weekly*
9.- *Licences & Certificates*
*No* oil burning equipment *may operated until?* -CORRECT ANSWER a)
*Certificate of Compliance* has been issued by *NYCDOB*
b) *Air pollution control code* requirements *NYCDEP*
c) *Permit for the Storage & use of fuel-oil* issued by *FDNY*
10.- *Licences & Certificates*
Pursuant to the *New NYC Fire Code & Mechanical Codes* stated that? -
CORRECT ANSWER *The COF is required for all existing and new buildings
where fuel is being transported from the lowest levels to tanks or equipment on
upper floors*
11.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Diagram of:
*Oil Circulation from the Tank at the LOWEST floor of a building to the burner
on the floor above such floor through the pump* -CORRECT ANSWER
,12.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What the *oil storage tank* do? -CORRECT ANSWER *Provides the supply
of oil for combustion in the oil burner. It's inside a dike. In case of leak the
diked area will contain the oil.*
13.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How is the #2 fuel-oil in its *normal condition*? -CORRECT ANSWER *Is
thin and light and is easily pumped through the circulation system.*
14.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*What the suction pump do?* -CORRECT ANSWER *Circulates the oil
throughout the system. Dirt and sediment are present in the fuel-oil coming
from the oil storage tank. The oil filter removes most of these contaminants
from the oil before the oil reaches the burner's strainer.*
15.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How many inches has to be the *SUCTION LINE?* -CORRECT ANSWER
*6 inches from the bottom of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed*
16.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What is the *vacuum gauge?* -CORRECT ANSWER *A device that measures
pressure below atmospheric pressure.*
17.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Excessive vacuum readings* means? -CORRECT ANSWER *Indicate that
there is an obstruction in the suction line (such as dirty oil strainer) when this
occurs the flow of oil can be stopped by closing the shut-off valve.*
, 18.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Closing the *shut-off valve.?* -CORRECT ANSWER Flow of oil *STOP*
*This permits the operator to clean the filter/strainer or to perform other
maintenance*
19.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Main Oil Storage Tank on the Lowest Level* -CORRECT ANSWER
20.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Main Oil Storage Tank Dike* -CORRECT ANSWER
21.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How operated the *Main Fuel Valve?* -CORRECT ANSWER *The main fuel
valve is electrically operated and will open or close the line leading to the
atomizer* only for oil burners.
22.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
The *Main Fuel Valve...* -CORRECT ANSWER *It will SHUT DOWN the
burner system if there is a failure of ignition or combustion*
23.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Oil circulates through the piping system back* to....? -CORRECT ANSWER
*The storage tank through the oil return line*
24.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
