🔍 Key Concepts

• Deaerating (D.C.) heater function in a steam plant and how it relates to condensate and boiler levels • Relationship between hot well levels, boiler drum levels, and D.C. heater level in a closed feedwater system • How a spill valve or overflow from the D.C. heater would affect observed water levels elsewhere in the system

💭 Think About

• If the D.C. heater level is slowly dropping and nothing is leaking externally, where else in the system could that water reasonably be going? • What changes would you expect to see in the condenser hot well and boiler water levels if the feed system is still balanced versus if something is bypassing or overflowing? • How would a partially open D.C. heater spill valve affect the apparent level in the heater and what other indicators in the system could confirm this?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how a falling D.C. heater level would logically impact boiler drum levels over time in a closed system • Consider whether an abnormal hot well level might indicate where the missing water is going • Verify what the D.C. heater spill valve does when it is partially open and what levels elsewhere in the system it would influence
