Question 1 of 27070

Makeup feedwater is brought into an operating closed feed system via the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Closed feed system operation and normal flow path • Difference between main/auxiliary/feed booster pumps and what each one normally supplies • How makeup feedwater (from losses in the system) is usually introduced without disturbing boiler firing rate

💭 Think About

• Think about which component normally supplies high‑pressure feedwater continuously to the boiler, and whether that is where you would want to introduce small amounts of makeup water. • Consider which line or device is specifically arranged to bring in relatively cool makeup water from the condensate system into the feed system. • Ask yourself: in a closed feed system, how is the condenser vacuum and condensate system connected to the feed line when you need to restore water inventory that has been lost?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what makeup feedwater is (replacing system losses), not just normal circulation. • Identify which pump or line is designed to handle suction from the condenser/DFT (dearating feed tank) vs. discharge to the boiler. • Verify which choice is actually a piping connection/line rather than a pump whose main job is continuous boiler feed.
