What is the purpose of a feedwater pump?

The purpose of a feedwater pump is to supply water to the boiler, ensuring that the boiler maintains an adequate water level for efficient operation. The boiler requires water to convert into steam, which is used for heating or power generation. If the water level in the boiler drops too low, it can lead to dangerous conditions like overheating or even boiler failure. Therefore, the feedwater pump plays a crucial role in continuously delivering the necessary volume of water to replace steam that has been generated and removed, keeping the system operational and safe. This function is essential for the overall efficiency and longevity of the boiler system.
