Agenerate superheated steam to operate the turbo generator
Bevaporate circulating boiler water into saturated steam
Ccondense excess steam produced in the boiler
Dmaintain a water level in the steam drum
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) evaporate circulating boiler water into saturated steam. The function of component "1" in the illustration MO-0128 is to evaporate the circulating boiler water into saturated steam. This is a critical component in the steam generation process, as it converts the liquid water into the steam that will then power the machinery onboard the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) generating superheated steam is a different process that occurs downstream of the boiler; C) condensing excess steam is a separate function handled by other components; and D) maintaining the water level in the steam drum is a different task, not the primary function of component "1".
