Difference between condensate and boiler feed tank

This video shows the difference between a condensate tank and boiler feed system. When replacing or installing a commercial steam heating system, a boiler feed system is required.

Just a comment, only from my experience of course, since building operators or owners started getting rid of vacuum pumps the amount of condensate tanks has increased. I think a lot of it was guess which left cool water in the pipes and the dreaded steam hammer when they mix. I think that the vacuum pump systems were better because it required you to check the actual piping and be honest! Good video. Thank you

I’m sick of trying to explain to maintenance people that these 2 tanks in your video are not DA tanks. 😂
