Condensers: Definition and Function in Power Plants

Condensers:
A condenser is a type of heat exchanger that is used to condense a vapor or gas into a liquid. In
the context of power plants, condensers are often used to condense the steam that has passed
through a steam turbine. The condensed steam is then pumped back into the boiler, where it
can be reused to produce more steam. Condensers are typically cooled by a cooling water
system, which helps to remove heat from the condenser and improve its e iciency.
