Working Principle of Steam Condenser

Working Principle of Steam Condenser

Highlighting the condenser working, inside the steam condenser, there is a flow of cooling water that 

continuously flows from the condenser to the cooling tower and from the cooling tower to the condenser.

So when the exhaust comes from a low-pressure steam turbine and passes through the condenser, it (steam) condenses into the water; because the steam loses heat, the heat extracted from the steam is passed through the circulating cooling water.

There are two types of equipment on the condenser, one is the condensate extraction pump, and the other is the air extraction pump.

And through an air-extraction pump, a vacuum is created inside the condenser so that cold water can easily circulate and also stabilize the flow of the condensate.

So when steam is condensed into water, it is again circulated in a steam generator with the help of a condensate extraction pump.

This is the basic phenomenon of how steam condensers work; in the next part, we will look at the classification of steam condensers and how each type of condenser works.
