Question 1065 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) Collects steam exhausted from the turbines. The steam drum of a marine water-tube boiler is primarily responsible for receiving saturated steam from the generating tubes (A), serving as a reservoir of boiler feedwater (B), and holding internal fittings for the separation of moisture from the steam (D). However, the steam drum does not collect steam exhausted from the turbines, as that function is typically performed by a separate component, such as a condenser. The other options (A, B, and D) are all correct functions of the steam drum, while option C is incorrect as the steam drum does not handle the exhaust steam from the turbines.
