Why condenser is needed in steam power plant?
• In a steam power plant turbines operates with the help of high pressure steam which is generated in a boiler. • Before reaching the turbine blade it passes through a HP compressor IM compressor then a LP compressor. • In this process pressure energy of the steam is converted to the kinetic energy. • After passing through the turbine pressure of the steam decreases. • In-order to have a high pressure steam we have to condense the steam to water and again the cycle repeats. For this purpose condenser is used in steam power plants.
