🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash evaporator operation – how feedwater is heated and flashed into vapor • Attemporation (desuperheating) – what happens when you spray water into live steam before it enters a heater • Scale formation – how temperature of heating surfaces affects mineral deposits in seawater systems

💭 Think About

• What physical property of the steam is mainly changed by attemporation: its temperature, its pressure, or the salinity of the brine? • In a flash evaporator, does attemporating the steam act directly on the brine overboard or on the metal heating surfaces first? • Which option describes an effect that logically follows from lowering the steam temperature entering the feed heater?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that attemporators are primarily temperature-control devices, not pressure-control devices. • Think about how very hot heating surfaces in contact with seawater affect scaling and tube life. • Check which choices talk about pressure changes vs heat-transfer/surface condition effects.
