In a regenerative surface condenser_____________?
Correct answer: B. there are two pumps to remove air and condensate
- A. there is one pump to remove air and condensate
- B. there are two pumps to remove air and condensate
- C. there are three pumps to remove air, vapour and condensate
- D. there is no pump, the condensate gets removed by gravity
Explanation
A regenerative surface condenser uses separate pumps because air and condensate have different functions and are withdrawn separately. The air-extraction pump removes air and vapour, while the condensate pump handles the collected water.
