🔍 Key Concepts

• Double-effect distilling plant flow: seawater → first effect → second effect → condenser • How entrained moisture (water droplets carried with vapor) is usually removed in evaporators/distillers • Difference between mechanical moisture separators and other components like heaters or flash chambers

💭 Think About

• Which component is specifically designed to separate liquid droplets from vapor, regardless of temperature change? • In a double-effect plant, where is the FIRST place that tries to dry the vapor before it goes on to be used for heating or condensing? • Which option sounds like it has a physical path or obstacle that makes droplets change direction and fall out of the vapor stream?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a moisture separator rather than a heater or pressure-reducing device • Decide which component’s MAIN purpose is mechanical separation of liquid from vapor, not heating or flashing • Ask: In standard marine evaporators, what common hardware name is associated with demisters or moisture separators?
