🔍 Key Concepts

• Condensate system flow path in a marine steam plant • Where seawater and condensate come into closest contact in condensers and heat exchangers • Difference between heat exchangers using seawater as cooling medium vs those using only fresh/condensate water

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of condensate from the main condenser back to the boiler. At which pieces of equipment does it come near seawater that is under pressure? • Which of these components normally has seawater on one side and steam/condensate on the other in a shell‑and‑tube arrangement? • Ask yourself: which component, if it developed a tube leak, would let salt water leak into the condensate side, not the other way around?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which components are part of the vacuum condenser system and are cooled by seawater • Check which item is primarily used for producing fresh water from seawater, and what flows on the tube side vs shell side • Eliminate any component that normally handles only fresh water/condensate and steam, with no seawater connection under normal operation
