Question

Equipment whose products of combustion at the point of leaving the equipment have a temperature between 600 and 1000 deg Fahrenheit under normal operating conditions would be classified as:

a) Moderate-temperature equipment
b) Elevated-temperature equipment
c) Standard equipment
d) Variable-temperature equipment

Answer 1

Equipment with combustion products exiting at 600-1000 degrees Fahrenheit is classified as 'Elevated-temperature equipment'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The classification of equipment based on the temperature of the products of combustion at the point of leaving the equipment is a necessary consideration for safety and efficiency in industrial and engineering applications. When products of combustion leave the equipment at temperatures ranging between 600 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, under normal operating conditions, such equipment would generally be classified as b) Elevated-temperature equipment. This classification suggests that the equipment operates at a higher temperature range, which is above the normal cooking temperatures in typical household ovens but below the temperature ranges used in industrial furnaces for chemical reactions.
