Question 18Steam Plants - QMED70% to pass
Which of the listed conditions aids in directing gland leak off steam from the low pressure propulsion turbine to pass through the gland exhaust condenser?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The use of a gland exhauster fan.
The gland exhauster fan plays a crucial role in directing the leak-off steam from the low-pressure propulsion turbine to pass through the gland exhaust condenser. The fan creates a negative pressure in the gland exhaust system, which helps to draw the leak-off steam from the turbine glands and ensure it is properly condensed and removed from the system.
The other options are incorrect because: B) Steam pressure from the low-pressure turbine alone is not sufficient to direct the leak-off steam; C) Steam pressure from the high-pressure turbine is not relevant to the low-pressure turbine's gland leak-off system; and D) Compressed air in the air pilot is not involved in the gland leak-off steam handling process.
