Forasmuch as the water flashed to the lower temperature in one equilibri very little stripping vapor available in the lower partof the column. The amount of« so small that there is practically no upward movement of vapor phase from col together with high liquid flow used in these deaerators drags the small vapor ph column where the oxygen is reabsorbed quickly. Hence a double-stage vacuum deaeration is opted. This 2nd-stage column is with the first column, but at a lower absolute pressure. This generates addit vapor for stripping the DO to a lower concentration. Thus if the foregoing dea with another deaerator operating at 1333 Pa. abs., the feedwater will flash generated vapor will scavenge the stripped oxygen out of the packed bed while down to 284K.
