Resource summary

Question 1

Question
The low pressure end of a turbine may be protected from over pressure protection by an atmospheric relief valve and/or
Answer
  • overspeed trip
  • explosion diaphragm
  • vacuum trip relay
  • vibration monitors
  • noise muffler

Question 2

Question
condensers may be divided into two basic groups namely,
Answer
  • direct and indirect
  • jet and surface
  • atmospheric and vacuum
  • contact and surface
  • evaporative and spray

Question 3

Question
Jet condensers are in limited use today mainly due to:
Answer
  • maintaining cooling water quality
  • cost
  • they require a large floor space
  • corrosion attack
  • all of the above

Question 4

Question
Condenser waterboxes are typically made from:
Answer
  • carbon steel
  • stainless steel
  • cast iron
  • aluminum
  • nickel or brass

Question 5

Question
condenser tube sheets are typically made from
Answer
  • carbon steel
  • stainless steel
  • cast iron
  • aluminum
  • admiralty brass

Question 6

Question
A large heating surface is utilized in a surface condenser for maximum efficiency. This is largely done by:
Answer
  • putting in as many tubes as possible
  • using large diameter tubes
  • using small diameter tubes
  • using stainless steel tubes
  • none of the above

Question 7

Question
To allow for differential expansion for the shell and tubes in a condesnser, which of the following methods may be used: 1. tube packing 2. expansion bends. 3. elastic materials 4. expansion joints to the shell 5. solid weld construction 6. slip expansion tubes
Answer
  • 1,2
  • 2,3
  • 3,4
  • 4,5
  • 1,4

Question 8

Question
Safety fittings on a condenser may include 1. gage glass 2. relief valve 3. corrosion coupons 4. low water alarm 5. vacuum trip relay 6. leak detection devices
Answer
  • 1,2,3,4,5
  • 1,2,5
  • 1,2,4,5
  • 1,2,3,5
  • 2,3,4,5

Question 9

Question
The main purpose of waterbox staybolts is to
Answer
  • support the tubesheet from cooling water pressure
  • support the tube sheet from condenser vacuum
  • prevent the condenser tubes from buckling
  • act as a sacrificial corrosion coupon
  • all of the above

Question 10

Question
non condensables in a condenser must be removed largely due to
Answer
  • the blanketing effect on the tubes
  • tube pitting
  • increase the condensate ph
  • lowers the condensate ph
  • increases the condenser vacuum

Question 11

Question
An air ejector
Answer
  • increases the vacuum on a turbine condenser
  • prevents non-condensable gasses from entering the condenser
  • converts heat energy into kinetic energy
  • utilizes a vacuum pump
  • may also be termed hogging ejector

Question 12

Question
The larges single heat loss in a steam power cycle is:
Answer
  • latent heat of evaporation of converting water to steam
  • condensing steam
  • creating a turbine vacuum
  • subcooled condensate

Question 13

Question
Air that enters a surface condenser:
Answer
  • causes pitting on the cooling water tubes
  • will increase the condenser pressure
  • will cause the condensate to turn slightly acidic and cause corrosion
  • will cavitate the extraction pump
  • has no effect on the operation of the plant

Question 14

Question
the best test method to detect condenser cooling water leaks is
Answer
  • conductivitity
  • ph
  • silica
  • phosphate
  • color comparator

Question 15

Question
In a surface condenser: 1. packed tube ends allows the tube to move axially in the packing 2. deaeration is less efficient when the condensate is sub-cooled 3. there is no temperature differential expansion 4. when the inlet of the tube is exposed, it is also beaded over to prevent leakage
Answer
  • 1,2,3
  • 1,2,4,
  • 1,2
  • 3,4
  • 1,2,3,4

Question 16

Question
Prior to starting a large condensing turbine:
Answer
  • the jacking oil pump is started after the turbine has been put on barring
  • open all steam trap bypass valves
  • turn on oil coolers cooling water prior to firing up the boiler
  • put the condenser into operation
  • test the turbine overspeed trips
