INTRODUCTION A steam condenser is a device or appliances in which steam after working in an engine cylinder or steam turbine is exhausted and condensed and heat released by steam is absorbed by water. The steam condensers serves the following two purpose,1. It maintains very low pressure on the exhaust side
of the piston of the engine cylinder or turbine.2. It supplies pure and hot feed water to the boiler.

Advantages of condensing plant
7
1. It increases he expansion ratio of the steam, thus increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant.
2. It reduces the back pressure of the steam, thus increases the power output of the plant.
3. It reduces the temperature of the steam, thus more work can be obtained.
4. It reuses the working substance, thus reducing the cost of the power generation.
5. It increases the temperature of the feed water, thus reducing the amount of heat required to obtain the steam.

Cooling tower
17
The temperature of the cooling tower in the condenser is increased when it condense the exhaust steam. This hot water from the condenser is cooled in a device it is called cooling tower.
Factors which affect the cooling of water in cooling tower
18
1. Temperature of the air2. Humidity of air3. Velocity of the air entering the tower4. Degree of uniformity in descending water5. Arrangement of plates in tower6. Size and height of tower7. Accessibility of air to all part of tower
Classification of cooling tower
19
1. According to the material usedi. Timber cooling towerii. Concrete cooling toweriii. Steel duct type cooling tower
2. According to the type of draughti. Natural draught cooling towerii. Forced draught cooling toweriii. Induced draught cooling tower

The temperature of the cooling water in the condenser is increased when it condense the exhaust steam. This hot water from condenser is also cooled in a device called Spray pond.
