Vent pipes are provided in a condenser to ________________?
Correct answer: A. Remove non-condensable gases
- A. Remove non-condensable gases
- B. Purge the condenser
- C. Facilitate easy cleaning of tubes
- D. None of these
Explanation
Vent pipes release air and other non-condensable gases from the condenser, since these gases reduce the effective condensing area and impair heat transfer. Purging and tube cleaning require separate arrangements.
