🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of the demister in an evaporator/distiller and what it removes from the vapor stream • Where the salinity cell is located in the system and what it measures • Difference between changes in vacuum/temperature and contamination of distillate in this type of unit

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of the vapor from the shell to the condenser and then to the distillate outlet—what role does the demister play along this path? • If the demister is not working correctly, what will happen to any entrained brine or saltwater droplets in the vapor? • Which of the listed outcomes best represents the effect of brine carryover into the distillate line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify on the illustration where the demister is and what side of it the salinity cell is on • Decide whether a mis‑installed demister would more likely change operating conditions (temperature/vacuum) or water purity • Confirm which answer choice directly reflects increased salt content in the produced distillate

The temperature of the device will decrease.

The vacuum of the device will increase.

Interstage leakage will cause a decrease in output.

There will be an increase of chlorides measured at the distillate pump salinity cell.
