Which of the following statements is true about a lined potable water boiler?

It cannot produce steam
It typically operates at high pressures
It has a corrosion-resistant lining for safe drinking water
It is used for heating industrial liquids

The correct answer is: It has a corrosion-resistant lining for safe drinking water

A lined potable water boiler is specifically designed to ensure that the water it produces is safe for drinking. The corrosion-resistant lining is a crucial feature because it prevents contaminants from leaching into the water supply from the materials of the boiler itself. This lining helps maintain water quality, providing an extra layer of safety, especially when the boiler is used for potable (drinking) water applications. The focus on safe drinking water compliance is why this statement is true. In contrast, other characteristics like the inability to produce steam, operation at high pressures, or being designed for industrial liquid heating do not align with the primary function of a lined potable water boiler, which is to ensure the safety and quality of the potable water it dispenses.
