Question 1103 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) Collects steam exhausted from the turbines. The steam drum of a marine water-tube boiler is not responsible for collecting steam exhausted from turbines. The steam drum's primary functions are to serve as a reservoir for boiler feed water (B), hold internal fittings for the separation of moisture from steam (C), and receive saturated steam from the generating tubes (D). The steam exhausted from turbines would typically be directed to other components of the marine power plant, such as a condenser, rather than the steam drum.
