Q

Partially clogged or scored nozzles in a two stage air ejector unit of a flash distilling plant could result in a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Two-stage air ejector operation in a distilling plant (how motive steam and nozzles create vacuum) • Effect of partially clogged or damaged nozzles on suction capacity and vacuum stability • Relationship between ejector performance and conditions in the flash chamber vs. downstream components

💭 Think About

• Think about what the primary purpose of the two-stage air ejector is in a flash distilling plant. Which part of the system does it mainly affect? • If the nozzles are partially clogged, will the ejector remove non-condensable gases and vapors steadily or irregularly? How would that show up in the flash chamber? • Which of the listed symptoms would be a direct result of reduced or unstable vacuum, and which are more likely caused by separate mechanical or level-control issues?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is most closely tied to vacuum quality/stability in the flash chamber rather than to liquid level or valve mechanics • Ask whether a clogged or scored nozzle would more likely cause irregular suction (pulsations) or a mechanical failure like a stuck check valve • Consider which options relate to downstream flooding/levels that usually depend on drains and level controls, not nozzle wear alone
