70% to pass

Saltwater 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. Saltwater contamination of condensate can occur at the fresh water evaporator because this component is used to produce fresh water from seawater. If there is a leak or breach in the evaporator, seawater can enter the condensate and contaminate it. The other components listed (inter condenser, DC heater, after condenser) are not directly exposed to seawater, so saltwater contamination is unlikely to occur at those locations.
