Q

The primary objective of the auxiliary exhaust system is to supply steam to the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Steam cycle on a marine steam plant – where auxiliary exhaust steam is recovered and reused • Purpose of the auxiliary exhaust system – what piece of equipment normally needs low‑pressure steam for heating and deaeration • Difference between main condenser duty and deaerating feed tank duty in the feedwater system

💭 Think About

• Think about which piece of equipment normally receives low‑pressure steam from auxiliaries so that heat is not wasted to the condenser • Ask yourself: which of these choices is designed specifically to use steam for heating and removing gases from feedwater? • Consider the normal steam path: after doing work in auxiliary equipment, where is that steam directed so its remaining heat can be recovered most efficiently?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which item in the choices is directly associated with feedwater heating and oxygen removal • Confirm which component normally operates with low‑pressure steam rather than main steam or condensate only • Check your steam plant diagram: follow the auxiliary exhaust line and see which unit it is primarily piped to
