Q

In a flash-type evaporator, an electrical salinity cell would be installed in the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of an electrical salinity cell in a distilling plant • Where product water (distillate) flows in a flash-type evaporator system • Why we must prevent salty water from entering potable water tanks

💭 Think About

• Think about whether we are more concerned with the salinity of the heating/condensing side or the freshwater product side. • Trace the flow: seawater in → evaporator → vapor → condensed water → cooled water → storage. At what point do we most need to be sure the water is fresh? • Consider how useful it would be to measure salinity in drains or intermediate points versus at the point where water is about to be sent to use or storage.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which line(s) carry distillate (fresh product water) rather than brine or heating condensate. • Decide if the salinity cell should be before or after cooling of the distillate and why temperature might affect the reading or location. • Check if putting a salinity cell in multiple locations would be practical and necessary, or if one well-chosen point is normally sufficient.
