🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of an atmospheric drain tank in a steam plant or condenser system • Normal flow path of condensate and drains back to the main heat sink • How level-control devices (like float-type regulators) are typically used in drain and condensate systems

💭 Think About

• Think about where the liquid in the atmospheric drain tank is normally supposed to go in steady, normal at-sea operation, not in emergency or abnormal conditions. • Ask yourself which option describes a controlled, automatic method of maintaining level, rather than just dumping fluid somewhere. • Consider which destination for this drain water makes thermodynamic and operational sense in a steam plant cycle (i.e., where can that water be reused?).

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice involves an automatic level-control mechanism rather than a simple overflow path. • Check which destination (bilge, main condenser, distillate tank) is the normal, continuous receiver for drains in a steam cycle, not a last-resort place. • Make sure the method you pick would stabilize the tank level at sea without constant manual intervention.
