🔍 Key Concepts

• Condensate and its role in the steam cycle • Function of a DC (dearating) heater in a steam plant • Why removing dissolved gases from feedwater is important for boiler safety

💭 Think About

• Think about what harmful substances might be present in condensate that are not visible but can still damage the boiler over time. • Consider the primary purpose of a DC heater in the feedwater system—what change does it make to the water before it reaches the boiler? • Ask yourself which choice best matches the main job of a deaerating component in a steam plant.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is directly related to removing oxygen and other dissolved gases from the feedwater. • Eliminate any options that describe conditions that are normally desired for boiler feed pumps (for example, good suction conditions). • Check which answer reflects a normal design purpose of a DC heater rather than an unlikely or incorrect problem with condensate temperature or solids.

Question 1 of 20

Condensate is pumped from the condenser to the DC heater instead of directly to the boiler because __________.

boiler feed pumps must operate with a negative suction head

suspended solids in the condensate must be eliminated

condensate should be deaerated before entering the boiler

condensate at condensing temperature is too hot and will cause thermal stress in the boiler
