What component is stated to work with condensate and MUF to control water quantity?

• A. Deaerating Feed Tank (DFT)
• B. Condensate Receiver
• C. Steam Trap
• D. Duct Heater

Answer: (A)

The Deaerating Feed Tank is the piece that works with condensate returns and makeup water to regulate how much water is fed into the boiler. It collects condensate from the system, blends it with makeup water (MUF), and then deaerates the mixture before sending it to the boiler feed pumps. This setup both controls the quantity of water entering the boiler and improves water quality by removing dissolved gases, which protects the boiler from corrosion. The other components have related roles—condensate receivers collect condensate; steam traps return condensate from steam lines; duct heaters are for heating air paths—but none combine condensate with makeup water to regulate the boiler feedwater in this way.
