Question 1 of 27070

If the boiler water level is normal, the main condenser hot well level is normal, and the DC heater level is 40% full, you should __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between boiler drum level, DC (dearating) heater level, and condenser hotwell level in a steam cycle • What a makeup feed vacuum drag line does in relation to low DC heater level • Why you would (or would not) need to prime a condensate pump when all other levels are normal

💭 Think About

• If boiler and hotwell levels are normal but the DC heater is only 40% full, what part of the feedwater system is actually low on water? • Which option directly adds or restores water to the feed system without disturbing otherwise normal operating levels? • Would slowing the main unit or bypassing the vent condenser fix a low DC heater level if other levels are already normal?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which component supplies water to the DC heater under vacuum conditions • Check whether priming a condensate pump is necessary when suction and discharge levels are already normal • Verify which option is specifically intended to correct a low DC heater level without upsetting boiler or hotwell levels
