Question 59Steam Plants - QMED70% to pass
In a main propulsion steam turbine installation, the condensate pump initially discharges to the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) air ejector condenser.
The condensate pump in a main propulsion steam turbine installation initially discharges to the air ejector condenser. This is because the air ejector condenser is responsible for removing non-condensable gases, such as air, from the steam system. The condensate pump sends the condensed steam from the main condenser to the air ejector condenser, where these non-condensable gases are extracted before the condensate is sent to the deaerating feed tank.
The other options are incorrect because the distillate tank is not part of the main steam system, the deaerating feed tank receives the condensate after it has passed through the air ejector condenser, and the first stage heater is a separate component in the feedwater heating system.
