Which of the following is NOT a function of the water supply through item "P" shown in the illustration? MO-0110

Correct Answer: Option B — It supplies the operating medium used in the removal of the distillate.

Item "P" typically represents the motive water supply for an ejector system. This water provides the kinetic energy required to remove brine, air, and non-condensable gases from the evaporator. It does not supply the distillate itself, as the distillate is the product being collected and pumped out by a separate pump.
