The document discusses barometric jet condensers. It describes how barometric jet condensers work by directly mixing cooling water and steam for condensation. Vapors entering the top of the condenser are condensed by water from spray nozzles, while non-condensables are drawn into the tailpiece and discharged through the bottom with the condensing water. Barometric jet condensers are commonly used in various industries to remove vapors where large capacities are required and fluctuations in temperature or steam loads occur.
