Question

Where is water steam separator drum located in Lamont boiler?

(a) Inside of the boiler

(b) Right above the furnace

(c) Before the feed water pump

(d) Outside of boiler

I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Types of High Pressure Boilers in portion Steam Generators & Accessories of Energy Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) Outside of boiler

The best I can explain: The steam separator is situated outside of the boiler. In this the mixture of water and steam from the evaporator tube is sent, where it separates the steam and sends it to the super heater. The remaining water is again sent to the economizer.
