"Feedwater" is a common misspelling or typo for: feed water.

Specialty Definition: FEEDWATER

Domain Definition
Administration (Water Quality) Water input into a desalting or water treatment plant. (references)
Energy Water supplied to the reactor pressure vessel (in a BWR) or the steam generator (in a PWR) that removes heat from the reactor fuel rods by boiling and becoming steam. The steam becomes the driving force for the plant turbine generator. (references)
Mining Water that is often purified, heated to nearly boiler temperature, and deaerated before being pumped into a steam boiler by the feed pump. (references)

Common Expressions: FEEDWATER

Expressions Definition
Auxiliary feedwater Auxiliary feedwater is a backup water supply used during nuclear plant startup and shutdown to supply water to the steam generators during accident conditions for removing decay heat from the reactor. (references)
Feedwater heater A Feedwater heater is a power plant component used to pre-heat water delivered to the boiler. Preheating the feedwater reduces the amount of energy needed to make steam and thus reduces plant operation costs. This improves the thermodynamic efficiency of the system, and also helps to avoid thermal shock to the boiler metal when the feedwater is introduced back into the steam cycle. (references)
