Cfirst stage heater
Ddistillate tank
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) air ejector condenser. In a main propulsion steam turbine installation, the condensate pump initially discharges the condensate from the main condenser to the air ejector condenser. This is because the air ejector condenser is the first component in the feedwater system that the condensate passes through after leaving the main condenser. The other options are incorrect because: A) the deaerating feed tank comes later in the feedwater system, C) the first stage heater comes after the air ejector condenser, and D) the distillate tank is not part of the standard feedwater system in a steam turbine installation.
