🔍 Key Concepts

• gland sealing steam system purpose and normal pressure range • relationship between gland exhaust condenser vent appearance (amount of visible steam) and sealing steam conditions • how each action would affect condenser hotwell level and overall steam/condensate balance

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which option actually corrects the cause of excess steam going to the gland exhaust condenser, rather than just treating low hotwell level as a symptom. • Consider what happens at the turbine shaft glands if sealing steam pressure is too high versus too low—how does that change steam flow and what you would see at the gland exhaust vent? • For each choice, think: would this increase or decrease the amount of steam going to the gland exhaust condenser, and would it help restore normal hotwell level?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option would reduce unnecessary steam flow to the gland exhaust condenser instead of adding more steam into the system. • Check which actions (if any) would actually increase steam loss out the vent and further lower condensate return to the main condenser. • Confirm that the selected action addresses both observed symptoms: excess vent steam and low hotwell level, not just one of them in isolation.
