What is the operating principal of a flash type evaporator?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Heated sea water is injected into a vacuum chamber.
Flash-type evaporators operate by injecting heated pressurized seawater into a lower-pressure vacuum chamber, causing a fraction of the water to instantaneously flash into vapor, which is subsequently condensed into high-purity distillate.
