• A. Deaerating Feed Tank (DFT)
• B. Main Condenser
• C. Distilling Plant
• D. Swash Plate Assembly

Answer: (A)

The Deaerating Feed Tank does this. It serves as the central point where condensate and makeup water are managed before entering the boiler. The tank is equipped with level controls that regulate how much makeup water is added and control the valves that route feedwater into the boiler or drum. Keeping the tank level in a proper range ensures a steady, deaerated feedwater supply to the boiler and stable drum pressure/level control. The other components have different primary roles: the main condenser handles exhaust steam condensation, the distilling plant produces potable water, and the swash plate assembly is part of a different subsystem.
