Q

These valves prevent the formation of gas pockets in a heat
exchanger. The presence of gas pockets prevents fluids from coming
into contact with some of the tubes, resulting in reduction of heat
transfer.

a. drain valves

steam into water, which can then be used within a system.

a. Condensers
b. Cooling towers
c. Fin-fans, air coolers

A

a. Condensers

22
Q

_______ are specialized heat exchangers used to cool water, using air. The water is
primarily cooled through evaporation.

b. Cooling towers
c. Fin-fan, air coolers

A

c. Fin-fan, air coolers

24
Q

A type of shell-and-tube heat exchanger that is used to heat and vaporize

thermosiphon.

a. Reboiler
b. Fired Heater
c. Vaporizer
d. Steam Generators

a. Reboiler
b. Fired Heater
c. Vaporizer
d. Steam Generators

A

b. Fired Heater

26
Q

A type of heating equipment where the liquid process material is______ by a heating medium such as flue gas or any hot fluid.

a. Reboiler
b. Fired Heater
c. Vaporizer
d. Steam Generators

A

c. Vaporizer

27
Q

_____ generates steam for use in the plant by using the available high-level heat
of any hot fluid or flue gases.

a. Reboiler
b. Fired Heater
c. Vaporizer
d. Steam Generators

A

d. Steam Generators

28
Q

Another example of the use of condensers is the cooling of vapors of products. The
product vapor produced in a distillation column flows into a condenser, where it is
converted into a liquid, or distillate.

A
29
Q

The condensed liquid or the distillate drips off the tubes, accumulates at the bottom of the
shell, and then flows through the distillate outlet to the receiver.

A
30
Q

True or False
Cooling water to the condenser can be isolated only after ensuring that the
vapor flow to the condenser has been stopped.

A

True

31
Q

Reboilers are the external heat source for the distillation column operation. This heat
drives the vapor traffic from the bottom of the column to the top.

A
32
Q

The purpose of condensers is to convert a vapor into a liquid by lowering the
temperature to its dew point.
