STEAM CONDENSER
The document discusses different types of steam condensers used in power plants. It describes the functions of condensers as maintaining low pressure on the exhaust side of a steam turbine to improve efficiency. The key types discussed are surface condensers, where exhaust steam and cooling water do not mix, and ejector condensers, where steam and water mix while passing through hollow cones. Evaporative condensers have steam pipes over a falling water film, with air circulation evaporating some water for cooling. Condenser efficiency is defined as the ratio of cooling water temperature rise to the vacuum-inlet temperature difference. Air leakage into condensers reduces vacuum and heat transfer, requiring more cooling water. Natural draught towers use wind to induce upward
