🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash type evaporator operation and required feed water temperature for efficient evaporation • Effect of lower feed water temperature on distillate quality and salinity (risk of carryover/contamination) • Proper operating vs. emergency actions when a key operating parameter moves outside its normal range

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Why is a minimum feed water temperature (around 165°F) specified for a flash evaporator? What happens to evaporation and separation below that temperature? • Think about which action protects both the evaporator equipment and the distillate quality best when a critical parameter can’t be maintained. • Consider which choice represents a normal adjustment of controls versus a protective or abnormal response when the system can’t be kept within limits.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review what the manufacturer’s operating limits (like minimum feed temperature) are intended to protect: efficiency, scaling, and salinity control. • Consider whether continuing operation at too low feed temperature is more likely to increase or decrease salinity/carryover in the distillate. • Check which option directly addresses being outside safe operating limits, rather than just masking or ignoring the underlying problem.
