In what scenario is a boiler referred to as “shutdown”?

  1. When it is leaking fuel

  2. When it is taken out of service and drained

  3. When it reaches maximum efficiency

  4. When it is operating at reduced capacity

The correct answer is: When it is taken out of service and drained

A boiler is referred to as “shutdown” when it has been taken out of service and drained. This term indicates that the boiler is no longer in operation, which involves ensuring it is safely disconnected from its fuel supply and has been drained of water to prevent damage and reduce safety hazards during maintenance or any period of inactivity. In a shutdown scenario, the boiler is prepared for an extended period without operation, which is critical for maintaining the equipment's integrity and ensuring that it can be safely inspected or repaired. This contrasts with the other situations mentioned, which either imply ongoing operation, potential hazards, or just operating inefficiencies rather than a complete shutdown.
