🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of an auxiliary condenser and air ejector system in maintaining vacuum • How air and non-condensable gases affect condenser vacuum • Normal startup/raising vacuum procedures on a surface condenser system

💭 Think About

• Which action would actually help remove air and non‑condensables from the condenser, rather than trap them? • Think about which valve lineup allows the air ejector condenser to operate correctly and maintain proper cooling and condensate flow. • Which options could accidentally increase air binding or overfill the system instead of improving vacuum?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice involves the auxiliary air ejector condenser outlet and consider its role in removing air. • Check which steps would restrict venting and might worsen vacuum rather than improve it. • Verify which action is part of a normal condenser vacuum‑raising lineup, not a corrective action for level control in the hot well.
