Question 70Steam Plants - QMED
70% to passIn the condensate system, the automatic recirculating valve can be actuated by the _______________.
Asuperheater steam flow
BDC heater water level
Ccondensate temperature
Dcondensate pump discharge pressure
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) condensate temperature. In the condensate system, the automatic recirculating valve is typically actuated by the condensate temperature. This valve is designed to recirculate a portion of the condensate back to the condenser when the temperature of the condensate is too low, ensuring that the condensate entering the boiler feed system is at the appropriate temperature. The other options (superheater steam flow, DC heater water level, and condensate pump discharge pressure) are not directly responsible for actuating the automatic recirculating valve in the condensate system.
