🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash type distilling plant operation and vacuum conditions • Typical leak paths in pressurized vs. vacuum systems • How gaskets, valve stems, and gage glass packings are sealed against leakage

💭 Think About

• Think about which components have a potential path from the atmosphere into the low‑pressure (vacuum) side of the plant. • Consider whether each listed item is normally sealed well enough that a slight defect could admit air. • Ask yourself: if the system is under vacuum, what kinds of joints or fittings are most likely to draw air in rather than let water/steam out?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, visualize whether there is a stuffing box, packing, or gasket that could fail and let air in. • Confirm which of these are common leak points in any steam or distilling system. • Before choosing, verify whether more than one of the listed items can be a realistic source of air leakage in actual practice.
