🔍 Key Concepts

• Study the flow path around the brine space of the distiller (chamber 23) and trace where concentrated brine could continuously leave the unit. • Compare the purpose of a flow‑control orifice (like item 19) versus a drain valve versus a jet ejector in typical distiller systems. • Look at how the hydrokineter (21) is piped and decide whether it is meant to circulate/heat water or to discharge brine overboard.

💭 Think About

• If excess brine is removed "during normal operation," would this be done by a manual valve or by an automatically acting device in the circuit? • Follow the piping from items 19, 21, and 22: which one actually leads to an outlet that can carry brine away from the distiller shell while it is running? • Ask yourself which component is designed to control incoming feed, and which is designed to continuously draw off a side stream of liquid. That second function is what prevents brine buildup.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which symbol in the illustration represents a jet ejector and see where its suction line connects (brine space or somewhere else). • Confirm whether orifice 19 is in the feed inlet line or the brine discharge line. • Check if the drain valve shown is labeled or drawn as a normally closed/manual valve, which would NOT operate continuously during normal steaming.

Question 1 of 27070

Excess brine accumulated in the distiller, shown in the illustration, is removed during normal operation by __________. Illustration MO-0111

orifice "19" regulating the amount of feed water entering the distiller, thereby preventing excess brine accumulation

opening the drain valve located to the left of orifice "19"

the hydrokineter labeled "21"

the continuous action of ejector "22"
