🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of condensate (water) in steam systems • How mechanical protection is usually provided to delicate parts like diaphragms • Where in a system you would normally remove water: in the supply line or in the whistle body itself

💭 Think About

• Which component is most vulnerable to impact or erosion from water droplets in high-velocity steam? • Is it more reliable to prevent condensate from reaching the whistle, or to rely on it draining only when the whistle operates? • Does a diaphragm itself normally act as a separator, or does it need clean, dry steam to avoid damage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes removing water before it reaches the whistle mechanism • Check which choices rely on operating the whistle to clear water versus continuous protection • Ask whether a diaphragm’s main purpose is sound generation or separation of phases (steam/water)

High temperature steam is used in the whistle.

Condensate drains from the horn each time the whistle is blown.

A water separator is installed in the steam supply line.

The diaphragm separates condensate from steam.
