🔍 Key Concepts

• Air ejector system flow path in a marine steam plant • Function of the intercondenser vs. aftercondenser • Where condensate and non‑condensable gases are directed after each condenser stage

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of steam and air: after doing work in the intercondenser, where should the condensate logically go next in the system? • What is the specific purpose of an aftercondenser compared with an intercondenser in a two-stage air ejector? • Which of the listed tanks or destinations would normally receive drains directly from the intercondenser stage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is tied specifically to air ejector condenser drains, not general plant drains • Distinguish between main condenser drains and auxiliary condenser (air ejector) drains • Confirm which component in a two-stage air ejector comes immediately after the intercondenser in the flow path
