Aatmosphere
Bmain condenser
Cvent condenser
Datmospheric drain tank
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) atmosphere. The gland exhaust fan draws steam and non-condensable vapors from the gland exhaust condenser and discharges them to the atmosphere. This is the proper method for disposing of these byproducts, as they need to be vented to the outside rather than recirculated or discharged into other system components. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) discharging to the main condenser would not be appropriate, C) a vent condenser is a different component, and D) the atmospheric drain tank is used for a different purpose, not for the gland exhaust.
