What is the purpose of a boiler operating control?

  1. To monitor fuel consumption

  2. To control the normal temp range of a boiler

  3. To regulate water pressure

  4. To initiate the startup sequence

The correct answer is: To control the normal temp range of a boiler

A This option is incorrect because while a boiler operating control may track fuel consumption as part of its overall monitoring capabilities, this is not its primary purpose. C: This option is incorrect because adjusting water pressure is typically the responsibility of a separate device, such as a water pump or regulator. The purpose of a boiler operating control is to manage the temperature of the boiler. D: This option is incorrect because while a boiler operating control may assist with starting up the boiler by monitoring key parameters, its main purpose is to maintain a safe and appropriate temperature range for the boiler during operation.
