feedwater
Steam system liquid
Feedwater is water supplied to a boiler or steam generator, typically after treatment to remove impurities that could damage equipment or reduce efficiency.
The term appears in power generation and industrial contexts: The plant's feedwater system includes multiple heaters to improve thermal efficiency.
Feedwater pumps move this water through the system at high pressure.
