In most of the vacuum crystalliser, vacuum is generally produced by means of a_____________________?

Correct answer: A. Steam jet ejector with a barometric condenser

  • A. Steam jet ejector with a barometric condenser
  • B. Compressed air jet
  • C. Suction pump
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Vacuum crystallisers commonly use a steam-jet ejector, with a barometric condenser to condense the entrained steam and maintain the vacuum. This arrangement is practical for continuous removal of vapour without a mechanical vacuum pump.
