Which of the following statements represents the function of a turbine gland exhaust condenser?

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements represents the function of a turbine gland exhaust condenser?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Steam turbine gland sealing system – purpose of gland seals and what leaks from them • Difference between gland exhaust steam and leakoff from throttle valve glands • What a condenser generally does in a steam plant (condenses vapor to recover water)

💭 Think About

• First, identify exactly what is leaking at the turbine glands and where that mixture goes after leaving the glands. • Think about why you would want to condense the gland exhaust before sending it anywhere else in the system. • Ask yourself which option best describes dealing with condensate formed from the steam at the gland exhaust, rather than simply routing vapor somewhere.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice specifically mentions condensate at the gland seal exhaust, not at the throttle valves or elsewhere. • Check which function is most consistent with a condenser’s primary job (condensing and recovering water), rather than just directing flow or preheating. • Make sure you distinguish between gland exhaust line duties and functions related to DC heater or air ejector suction.

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements represents the function of a turbine gland exhaust condenser?

Directs the gland exhaust from the turbine sealing glands to the air ejector suction.

Recovers condensate from the gland leakage around the ahead and astern throttle valves.

Assists in preheating the condensate before it enters the DC heater.

Recovers condensate formed at the gland seal exhaust leakoff.
