Q

A suitable location for the installation of an impulse type steam trap would be in the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Impulse type steam trap operating principles (on/off discharge, sensitivity to pressure changes) • Proper locations for steam traps in drain lines vs. steam supply lines • Purpose of draining condensate from heat exchangers, main steam line high points, and vacuum drag lines

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: Is there condensate that must be removed here, or is it mainly live steam flow? • Consider where a steam trap is needed to prevent water hammer, loss of heating efficiency, or flooding of equipment. • Think about whether the line operates under pressure, vacuum, or both, and how that affects an impulse type trap.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option clearly represents a condensate drain line, not a primary steam supply line. • Check where removing condensate will protect equipment and maintain proper heat transfer. • Eliminate any option where installing a steam trap would restrict needed steam flow instead of draining condensate.
