What is a Deaerating Heater and How Does It Work?

A deaerating heater, also known as a deaerator, is a device that removes dissolved gases, mainly oxygen, and carbon dioxide, from boiler feedwater. Dissolved gases can cause corrosion and damage to the boiler and its components, as well as reduce the efficiency of the steam cycle. Therefore, deaerat
