70% to passSalt water contamination of condensate could occur at which component?
AInter condenser
BDC heater
CAfter condenser
DFresh water evaporator
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Fresh water evaporator. Salt water contamination of condensate can occur at the fresh water evaporator, which is used to produce fresh water from seawater on ships. The evaporator is a component that is vulnerable to salt water intrusion, which could contaminate the condensate (freshwater) produced. In contrast, the other components listed - the inter condenser, DC heater, and after condenser - are not as susceptible to direct salt water contamination of the condensate.
