Understanding Steam Condensers in Power Plants by Tiwari Madanjit is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The steam condenser is a heat exchanger that converts exhaust steam from a steam turbine back into water. It uses cooling water to remove the latent heat from the steam. The main purposes of a steam condenser are to condense turbine exhaust steam to maximize power plant efficiency and produce pure water that can be reused as boiler feedwater. There are two main types: direct condensers that directly mix steam and cooling water, and surface condensers that use tubes to indirectly exchange heat without mixing
