What is the function of device 'C' shown in the illustration? MO-0110

Correct Answer: Option D — It removes moisture entrained in the vapors produced in section 'G'.

Item C functions as a demister or moisture separator. Its primary purpose is to remove entrained brine droplets from the rising water vapor before it enters the condenser. This prevents carryover, ensuring the final distillate meets salinity requirements by keeping impurities out of the condensing section.
