What type of sensor is normally used with the automatic recirculating valve in the main condensate line?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Thermostatic
Thermostatic sensors monitor condensate temperature leaving the main air ejector condenser. If main engine load drops and condensate flow decreases, temperature rises; the thermostat signals the automatic recirculating valve to open, preventing pump overheating due to cavitation.
