Zinc plates commonly found in refrigeration systems and used as sacrificial anodes are located where?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — salt water side of the condenser

Sacrificial zinc anodes are installed directly on the salt water side of shell-and-tube condensers. They protect expensive copper-nickel or brass heat exchanger tubes from galvanic corrosion caused by dissimilar metals exposed to corrosive marine seawater environments.
