Question 42Steam Plants - Assistant Engineer70% to pass
Air accumulated in the after condenser of the air ejector unit is discharged directly to the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) atmosphere.
The air accumulated in the after condenser of the air ejector unit is discharged directly to the atmosphere. This is because the air ejector system is designed to remove non-condensable gases, such as air, from the main condenser of a steam turbine-powered vessel. The air ejector discharges these non-condensable gases to the atmosphere, rather than back into the main condenser or other parts of the system.
The other options are incorrect because: A) the main condenser is where the steam is condensed, not where the air is discharged; B) the inter condenser is not a relevant component in this system; and D) the high-pressure turbine is not the appropriate destination for the air discharge.
