Question 1 of 27070

Heat introduced to the condenser by exhausting steam is removed by the circulation of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine steam condenser operation – what the condenser’s job is in a steam system • Difference between condensate/feedwater inside the system and cooling water outside the tubes • Why steam must be cooled below its saturation temperature to become condensate

💭 Think About

• Think about what fluid actually comes into direct contact with the condenser tubes from the outside to remove heat from the exhaust steam inside the tubes. • Which of these choices is normally used as the main cooling medium on a ship, available in large quantity and at relatively low temperature? • Which fluids listed are valuable treated boiler water that engineers try to keep inside the system, not send through as once‑through cooling?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the normal cooling medium drawn in large volume from outside the plant. • Eliminate any choices that are part of the closed boiler/feedwater/condensate cycle, which engineers try to conserve and keep clean. • Ask yourself: which of these would most realistically be pumped through the condenser to carry heat away and then discharged or returned overboard?
