Excess brine accumulated in the distiller, shown in the illustration, is removed during normal operation by __________. Illustration MO-0111

Correct Answer: Option D — the continuous action of ejector "22"

Ejector 22 utilizes the Venturi effect to create a pressure differential, continuously drawing concentrated brine from the distiller shell. This constant removal prevents scale formation and maintains the required salinity levels within the boiling chamber, ensuring efficient heat transfer and compliance with standard marine evaporator operational procedures for salt water distillation.
