Electrical Engineering MCQ
Highest pressure generating pump inside the thermal plant is:
- Boiler feed pump
- Low pressure heater pump
- High pressure heater pump
- All of these
Correct answer: 1. Boiler feed pump
Explanation: The primary function of a boiler feed pump is to supply water to the boiler at high pressure. It takes water from the feed water system and increases its pressure before delivering it to the boiler. This pump operates at a high pressure to ensure that the boiler receives an adequate and pressurized supply of water for steam generation.
