Question

Is there any requirement of auxiliary steam producer in the steam jet ash handling system.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me during an online exam.

The query is from Cool and Ash Handling System topic in division Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) False

To explain: There is no requirement for any auxiliary steam producing unit since the steam required is drawn from the boiler present in the system. The steam drawn from the boiler is pressurized and then utilized. Non-requirement of auxiliary unit is advantageous as it would cut slack in the expenses of setting up the plant.
