What is condensation
* process of conversion from vapour to liquid
Vacuum
* vacuum is sub-atmospheric pressure, measured as the pressure depression below atmospheric
* vacuum is created in a closed chamber of the gas or vapour whose molecules are responsible for the internal fluid pressure, is partially withdrawn
* one Kg of water vapour at 0.1 bar occupies 14.695 cubicmt whereas after condensation it will occupy only 0.0010102 cubicmt of liquid
How is vacuum created
* the liquidating of most the vapour molecules creates region of emptiness thus creating vacuum
What is condenser
* heat exchanger, to condense steam from the exhaust of the turbine to water
Where is it located
* at the exhaust of turbine
Why is it required
* to receive large volumes of steam exhausted from steam prime mover (turbine)
* to condense large volumes of steam to water which may be used again in boiler
* to maintain pressure below atmisphere to increase work output from the prime mover (turbine)€
Type of condenser
* surface condensers
* jet condensers
