Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1033 (Set 32)

What is NOT a function of the steam drum of a marine water-tube boiler?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Collects steam exhausted from the turbines

Marine water-tube boiler steam drums receive saturated steam, act as feedwater reservoirs, and house internal moisture separators. Condenser exhaust steam is directed back to the main condensate system, not the boiler steam drum, which deals exclusively with high-pressure generation.
