Question 180Steam Plants - QMED

The correct answer is A) air will be drawn back into the main condenser. If the condensate level in the loop seal of the air ejector inter condenser is lost, the air ejector will no longer be able to effectively remove air from the main condenser. This will allow air to be drawn back into the main condenser, which can reduce the condenser's efficiency and overall plant performance. The other options are incorrect because: B) no condensate will flow through the system is not true, as the condensate can still flow through the system even with a loss of the loop seal; C) the air ejector will not transfer heat to the condensate is also not correct, as the air ejector's primary function is to remove air, not transfer heat; and D) the air ejector will overheat is incorrect, as the loss of the loop seal will prevent the air ejector from functioning properly, rather than causing it to overheat.
