Steam Plants (Boilers & Turbines) USCG Question #102 (Set 4)

How is an excess of turbine gland seal steam remedied?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — It is directed to the gland exhaust condenser.

Excess turbine gland sealing steam is collected and routed directly to the gland exhaust condenser. This captures thermal energy, maintains a slight vacuum to prevent leakage into the machinery space, and condenses the steam into reusable feedwater.
