What Is a Feed Tank?
Feed tanks stabilize boiler feedwater by storing water from feedwater pumps and supplying it uniformly to boilers. Components include a storage tank and an upper water level gauge. The tank accumulates water until a certain level is reached, at which point the pump is activated or deactivated.
Feed tanks extend feedwater pump operation and stabilize boiler function. Important considerations include managing water level and quality in the tank. Feed tanks come in open and closed types, with open types being easy to maintain and cost-effective, and closed types preventing water quality degradation.
