Aopen impellers and power ends
Blarge suction chambers and impeller eyes
Cspeed-limiting governors and closed impellers
Dmultiple impellers and pump shaft positions
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) large suction chambers and impeller eyes. Condensate pumps are typically characterized by their large suction chambers and impeller eyes, which allow them to efficiently handle the low-pressure, high-volume flow of condensate from steam systems. The large suction chambers and impeller eyes help the pumps overcome the low pressure and draw in the condensate effectively. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the distinctive features of condensate pumps. Options A, C, and D describe characteristics of other types of pumps, but not the specific features that make condensate pumps recognizable.
