| A back pressure trip on a ship’s service turbo-generator is designed to protect the turbine when the exhaust steam cannot properly condense in the condenser. This situation occurs when the amount of cooling water to the condenser is insufficient (Option B). When there is not enough cooling water, the condenser cannot effectively remove heat from the exhaust steam, causing the pressure at the turbine exhaust (back pressure) to rise. High back pressure reduces turbine efficiency and can lead to serious damage such as overheating or mechanical stress, so the system automatically trips the turbine to prevent failure. equifaxcredit.com.co | |
