boiler feedwater pump

The crankshaft drives a boiler feedwater pump which draws water from a barrel placed alongside the engine.

A common application of the multistage centrifugal pump is the boiler feedwater pump.

In December the ship began an extensive refit to repair corrosion problems, fix her boiler feedwater pumps, and replace her funnels.

These pumps became extremely well known for their use as boiler feedwater pumps, and for ship's auxiliary equipment such as evaporators.

A boiler feedwater pump is a specific type of pump used to pump feedwater into a steam boiler.

Ordinary injectors will not work with hot water (until hot-water injectors were developed) so condensing locomotives were usually fitted with axle-driven boiler feedwater pumps.

At thermal power stations the feedwater is usually stored, pre-heated and conditioned in a feedwater tank and forwarded into the boiler by a boiler feedwater pump.

As condensing the steam heated the water, a reciprocating pump (Weir pump) was fitted as a boiler feedwater pump because standard injectors will not work with hot water.

Generating plants using steam turbines require station service power of up to 10% of their capacity for boiler feedwater pumps, boiler forced-draft combustion air blowers, and for fuel preparation.
