Classify condensers used in thermal power station. Explain each type in brief.
Types of condenser:
Classification: 1. Jet Condenser (Mixing Type) 2. Surface condenser (non Mixing type)
Explanation:-
1. Jet Condenser (Mixing Type) In Jet condenser the steam and cold water comes in direct conduct with each other. Therefore cannot be used as feed water.
2. Surface condenser (non Mixing type) In surface condenser cold water is passed through pipes and steam is passed over these pipes. Due to cold water steam is again converted into water called as condensate. Since there in no direct contact between the steam and cooling water. This condensate is reused in boiler.
