Question 64Steam Plants - QMED
70% to passWhich of the condensers listed is cooled by sea water?
AGland exhaust condenser
BAir ejector condenser
CVent condenser
DMain condenser
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Main condenser. The main condenser of a steam plant is typically cooled by seawater. This is due to the need for a reliable and abundant source of cooling fluid to condense the steam exiting the turbine and maintain the vacuum required for efficient plant operation. The other condensers listed, such as the gland exhaust condenser, air ejector condenser, and vent condenser, are generally cooled by the plant's freshwater cooling system rather than seawater.
