Where does the water go when it is discharged from the main feed pumps?

Explanation:
The water discharged from the main feed pumps goes into the main feed piping system, which carries the feedwater from the pumps to the boiler. This piping delivers the water into the boiler’s waterspace (typically feeding the steam drum and/or waterwalls) where it is heated and turned into steam. It does not go into the condensate return line or through a desuperheater; those are different parts of the system.
