Q

Flooding of the DC heater, due to the addition of excessive makeup feed, is normally corrected by the use of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• DC heater (de-aerating condenser or de-aerating feedwater heater) function in a marine steam plant • How excessive makeup feed affects DC heater water level • Typical ways to remove excess water from a DC heater without upsetting system operation

💭 Think About

• Which choice actually provides a path for excess water to leave the DC heater, rather than just changing pressure or temperature? • Which device is normally used to protect the feed system and boiler from level problems by sending surplus water somewhere safe? • Look at each option and ask: does this control steam conditions, pressure/flow, or does it handle excess water level specifically?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options primarily control pressure or steam temperature, not level, and set those aside. • Confirm which option creates a discharge route for excess feedwater from the DC heater to another tank in the system. • Remember that the correct device must act when the DC heater is overfilled due to makeup feed, so it must be associated directly with level control.
