If the pressure becomes excessive in the auxiliary exhaust system of a steam propulsion plant, the excess steam will normally be dumped to the __________.
β’ Auxiliary exhaust system purpose and typical discharge points β’ Function of a main condenser vs a vent condenser β’ How excess steam and pressure are safely handled in a steam plant
β’ Which piece of equipment is normally designed to receive large quantities of exhaust steam and condense it back to water? β’ Which option is mainly for removing air and non-condensable gases rather than handling the full auxiliary exhaust load? β’ Think about where you ultimately want the condensate to go so it can be reused as boiler feedwater.
β’ Identify which component is directly tied into the main condensate/feedwater cycle β’ Verify which component is sized to handle continuous or large-volume exhaust steam flow, not just small vents β’ Eliminate any option whose primary purpose is pressure reduction or deaeration, not bulk condensation of auxiliary exhaust
