Q

Which condition would cause an excessively high level in the deaerating feed water tank (DC heater)?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Deaerating feed water tank (DC heater) purpose and what controls its water level • How condensate makeup valves interact with the DC heater level control system • The role of air ejector loop seals, recirculation, and dumping in the feedwater/condensate system

💭 Think About

• Think about which component directly adds water into the deaerating feed water tank in a way that could override its normal level control. • For each option, ask yourself: does this action remove water from the DC heater, bypass it, or add water into it? • Consider which of these operations is supposed to be automatic and controlled by tank level, and what happens if that control malfunctions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice involves a valve that admits make‑up water into the system, especially to maintain level in the DC heater. • Determine which options would actually lower or bypass the DC heater level rather than raise it. • Confirm which component is part of the normal level control loop for the deaerating feed water tank, not just a peripheral or protective device.
