The delivery pressure of boiler feed water pump compared to the boiler steam pressure is___________________?
Correct answer: D. Slightly more
- A. Same
- B. Slightly less
- C. Much more
- D. Slightly more
Explanation
The feed-water pump must overcome the boiler pressure as well as pressure losses in the feed line and equipment. Therefore, its delivery pressure is slightly higher than the boiler steam pressure.
