🔍 Key Concepts

• Condensate depression (difference between saturation temperature at condenser pressure and actual condensate temperature) • Effect of lower condensate temperature on gas solubility in water • Impact of condensate temperature on oxygen and air content in the feedwater system

💭 Think About

• If condensate is cooled well below its saturation temperature, what happens to the ability of water to dissolve air and gases? • Which choice describes a consequence of having colder-than-normal condensate, rather than hotter or more efficient operation? • Look at each option and ask: does excessive cooling of condensate make this more likely or less likely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that excessive condensate depression means colder condensate, not hotter. • Think about how gas solubility in water changes as temperature goes down. • Eliminate any answers that imply higher condensate temperature or direct improvement in turbine/plant efficiency as a result of excessive depression.
