Question 1 of 27070

Q

The condensers located in the various stages of a flash evaporator are cooled by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• how a flash evaporator makes fresh water from sea water • role of condensers in turning vapor back into liquid • what fluid is commonly available in large quantity and at lower temperature on a ship’s salt‑water cooling side

💭 Think About

• In a flash evaporator, what fluid gets heated and turned into vapor, and what separate fluid is typically used to remove heat from the condenser surfaces? • Which of the choices would still be plentiful and cool enough even when the ship is in port or at sea for long periods? • Would you want to cool the condensers with the same fluid you are trying to purify, or with a separate cooling supply?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the raw feed to the evaporator versus the end product coming out. • Decide which fluid would stay cool enough and abundant for continuous condenser cooling. • Eliminate any option that would risk contaminating the fresh water product or wasting it as a cooling medium.
