🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe starting procedures for turbine‑driven boiler feed pumps • Function of steam supply, exhaust, suction, and discharge/check valves in a pumping system • How a check valve protects the system during startup

💭 Think About

• Think through what happens inside the pump and turbine if each valve is open during initial start. Which condition could cause immediate overloading, water hammer, or damage? • Which valve(s) must be open so the turbine can actually turn, and the pump can have water available at its inlet? Then ask: which one is safer to keep shut until the unit is up to speed and conditions are stable? • Consider the purpose of a discharge check valve in a boiler feed system. Under what conditions do you want to prevent reverse flow or sudden pressure changes during startup?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which valves must be open for the turbine to rotate (think: steam in and steam out). • Verify that the pump cannot safely run without water at the suction side (avoid cavitation). • Verify how a discharge check valve behaves automatically versus manually operated valves, and when you would want the discharge line isolated during initial start.
