Sha identifies three fundamental principles for improving performance and design of a condenser with air removal system. 1. Enthalpy of steam entering a condenser should be kept to an optimum ...

Declining performance of a large compressor-driven steam turbine's surface condenser at Shell Chemical LP's petrochemical complex in Norco, La., was constraining an associated process unit to a ...

Air-Venting Devices. The three most common vacuum-producing devices are steam-jet air ejectors (SJAE, also called air jet ejectors), liquid ring vacuum pumps (LRVP), and a hybrid of ejector and pump.

The condenser steam load is 1,480,000 pounds (lb) per hour with an enthalpy of 950 Btu/lb. On this unit, the turbine exhaust area is 375 square feet. The circulating water pumps provide a design ...

Howe Industries has submitted a design for a solar-powered steam rocket engine for propelling CubeSats to the National Science Foundation (NSF). With only two moving parts, the ThermaSat engine ...

This article was originally published with the title “ Miller's Condenser For Steam Engines ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 13 No. 20 (January 1858), p. 153 doi:10.1038 ...

The steam generator is a hybrid design, ... (In a really good/efficient design the condenser pressure would be well below atmospheric, but I doubt that’s achievable at this size) ...

The effect improves the pressure ratio of the turbine by a considerable amount, which is why there’s pretty much no steam turbine in a power plant that doesn’t have a condenser these days. In ...
