Best Answer

A boiler can be a closed system if you include the pipes it is connected to, but usually there are relief valves that will allow the escape of steam to protect against excess pressure and inlets that will allow adding liquid to the boiler to make up for fluid lost from the pressure valves. Also most boilers are imperfectly sealed so they leak a little bit.

If you do not consider the attached piping, then a boiler would not be considered a closed system since it would be constantly sending out steam and receiving condensate in return.

How do close formula feeds differ from open formula feeds?

The feed system cycles between boiler and turbine and enables the steam to return to the boiler as feed water. A closed feed cycles a main propulsion steam run turbine through a high pressure water tube boiler. The condenser, set to a high vacuum, will receive the steam turbine exhaust.
