🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash-type evaporator stages and how vacuum improves evaporation efficiency • Purpose of a loop seal in preventing backflow between stages • Relationship between condensate/distillate flow and maintaining separate vacuum levels in each stage

💭 Think About

• Think about what would happen to the vacuum in each stage if there were a direct open path between them without any seal. • Consider whether the loop seal is mainly about moving liquid, controlling pressure/vacuum, or heating feed water. • Ask yourself: does the loop seal handle salt water, distillate, or vapor—and how would that affect where vacuum is maintained?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which stage (first vs second) is at the higher vacuum (lower pressure). • Verify whether a loop (liquid leg) device’s main function is to pump/transfer product or to separate pressure zones while allowing flow. • Confirm whether the loop seal is located in the distillate line between stages or in the shell of the salt water feed heater.
