A building has three boilers to provide heat. Each boiler has a 150.000 BTU/Hr capacity. On a design maximum coldest day the building needs 325,000 BTU's per hour to maintain the temperature in the building against the heat lost. Select all of the correct statements from the list below. Select 2 correct answerts) The boiler system is not redundant and cannot maintain the building temperature on a design maximum coldest day if one boiler fails. Three boilers makes the system redundant and able to maintain building temperature on a design maximum coldest day even if one boiler fails. If one boiler fails on a design maximum coldest day, the temperature will drop. If one boiler fails on a design maximum coldest day the temperature will stay the same so long as the doors stay closed.

A building has three boilers to provide heat. Each boiler has a 150.000 BTU/Hr
capacity. On a design maximum coldest day the building needs 325,000 BTU's per
hour to maintain the temperature in the building against the heat lost. Select all of
the correct statements from the list below.
Select 2 correct answerts)
The boiler system is not redundant and cannot maintain the building
temperature on a design maximum coldest day if one boiler fails.
Three boilers makes the system redundant and able to maintain building
temperature on a design maximum coldest day even if one boiler fails.
If one boiler fails on a design maximum coldest day, the temperature will drop.
If one boiler fails on a design maximum coldest day the temperature will stay the
same so long as the doors stay closed.
