70% to passWhich of the listed components would be considered the dividing line separating the condensate system from the feed water system?
ADeaerating feed tank
BMain air ejectors
CBoiler drum
DMain condenser
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Deaerating feed tank. The deaerating feed tank is considered the dividing line between the condensate system and the feed water system. The condensate system collects and returns condensed steam to the deaerating feed tank, where it is combined with makeup water to create the feed water. The deaerating feed tank then supplies the feed water to the boiler, which is part of the feed water system. The other options are incorrect because they are not the dividing line between the two systems. The main air ejectors, boiler drum, and main condenser are all part of the condensate system, not the dividing line.
