In a closed feed water system, the greatest deaeration of condensate occurs in the __________.

Question 1 of 27070

In a closed feed water system, the greatest deaeration of condensate occurs in the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Role of a closed feedwater system in a marine steam plant • How deaeration removes dissolved oxygen and other gases from condensate • Which component is specifically designed to heat and strip gases from condensate using steam

💭 Think About

• Think about which piece of equipment is intentionally designed to contact condensate with steam in a way that drives off dissolved gases, not just store or cool it • Consider which option normally operates at a higher pressure and temperature to improve the removal of dissolved oxygen from the feedwater • Ask yourself: which component’s primary function is feedwater heating and deaeration, rather than just condensation or drainage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a primary feedwater heater/deaerator rather than a tank or simple condenser • Recall that higher temperature and some steam space above the water help release dissolved gases— which option normally provides this environment? • Eliminate any component whose main job is just condensing steam or collecting drains, not specialized deaeration of condensate
