A high water level in a deaerating feed heater will cause the automatic dump valve to divert condensate to the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a deaerating feed heater in the boiler/feedwater system • What happens when the deaerator water level gets too high and needs to be relieved safely • Normal destinations for excess condensate (high‑level dumps) in steam systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: If the deaerating feed heater is overfilled, where can that extra condensate be sent without losing it to the atmosphere and while keeping it usable as feedwater? • Which of these choices is normally used as a low‑pressure heat sink for excess condensate and drains in the main steam cycle? • Think about which tank or condenser is designed to collect and reuse clean, hot condensate rather than simply waste it.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which piece of equipment is normally used as the main condensate collection point in a steam plant cycle • Check which option would waste water to atmosphere versus which options keep it within the closed feed system • Confirm in your steam cycle diagram where the deaerating feed heater drains/dumps are arranged to go under high‑level conditions
