🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a D.C. (de-aerating) heater in a marine steam plant • Effect of feedwater temperature on dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide • Relationship between water temperature and risk of flashing or cavitation at the feed pump suction

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the main job of the D.C. heater in the feedwater system, besides just heating the water? • If you suddenly add a lot of cold water, what happens to the temperature and how does that affect the removal of dissolved gases? • Which of the listed problems is most directly linked to changes in dissolved gases versus changes in pressure or flow?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is directly connected to dissolved oxygen content in the feedwater. • Check whether flashing at the feed pump suction is more likely with hotter or colder water at a given pressure. • Confirm which options (if any) would normally be associated with the economizer or back pressure in the exhaust system, and rule those out if they don’t relate to the D.C. heater’s primary function.
