Definition of intercondenser
: one of the intermediate stages in a multistage steam-engine
condenser

A vacuum system typically consists of one or more stages of ejectors with intermediate
condensers which produces the condensation of the vapors coming from the previous stage.

 Including a pre-condenser. Its purpose is to reduce the suction load in the first stage by
condensation of the vapors of the group entry.
 Including a post-condenser. Its purpose is to recover the condensate from motive steam at
the last stage. This arrangement is used for vacuum groups with air vent in turbine
condensers.
 Intercondenser multi-shell. Condensers can be designed with several shells which share
tubes side. Each stage of ejectors discharges into each one of the shells. This arrangement
creates a more compact vacuum group.
