One advantage of a flash distilling plant when compared to a submerged tube distiller is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash distilling plant vs. submerged tube distiller basic operating principle • How scale forms and is removed in distilling equipment • Relationship between brine temperature, pressure, and density in evaporators

💭 Think About

• Think about how water actually turns to vapor in a flash-type distiller compared to a submerged tube unit. Does the water boil on hot metal surfaces, or does it flash in an open space? • Which type of distiller is more likely to develop hard scale on heating surfaces that would need mechanical or thermal shock removal? • Consider which design would need more or less feed water for the same output, and why that might be.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where scale tends to form in each design and how it is normally removed aboard ship. • Decide whether distillate purity is mainly controlled by temperature alone, or by other design factors like demisters and separation chambers. • Consider whether a flash distiller’s operation would naturally change brine density and corrosion risk compared with a submerged tube unit.

Question 1 of 27070

One advantage of a flash distilling plant when compared to a submerged tube distiller is __________.

greater distillate purity through high temperature evaporation

cold shocking for scale removal is not required

less internal corrosion because of lower brine density

less feed water is required for equal plant capacity
