While standing watch in the engine room, which of the following actions should be taken to reestablish a 'blown' air ejector loop seal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of an air ejector loop seal and why it can lose its seal (get 'blown') • Relationship between steam flow, condensate flow, and maintaining a water seal • Effect of valve operations on quickly restoring a water seal without shocking the system

💭 Think About

• Which choice would most directly restore the water level in the loop seal rather than change overall system capacity? • Which action is likely to be a short, controlled intervention that reestablishes the seal without risking damage to the ejector or condenser vacuum? • Think about which option would help stop steam or non‑condensable gases from pushing water out of the seal leg long enough for the seal to reform.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options change steam pressure or flow versus those that act directly on the seal line. • Ask: Which action would be done only momentarily to let the seal reform, then returned to normal operation? • Eliminate any option that would likely worsen or prolong loss of vacuum rather than quickly restoring the seal.

While standing watch in the engine room, which of the following actions should be taken to reestablish a 'blown' air ejector loop seal?

Decrease the steam pressure to the air ejector nozzles.

Shut off the steam to the second stage air ejector momentarily then open it again.

Momentarily close the valve in the loop seal line, then reopen slowly.

Increase the condensate flow through the air ejector.
