It is one of the 3 methods to check air leakage where Peppermint oil is applied over suspected
locations when the condenser is working. If any leakage is there then oil fumes will enter into the
condenser and there will be oil odour in the discharge from the condenser.
Cooling Tower
Pt = Ps + Pa
5. There are 3 sources of air leakage into the condenser. Which of the following is not included?
Low thermal conductivity of air affects the condenser requiring the surface area of the
condenser tubes to be increased for a condenser duty.
6. It is the air pump consists of a piston which reciprocates in the pump barrel. The piston is flat on its
upper surface and conical at the bottom. The barrel has a ring of ports near its lower end through which
it communicates with the condenser. The top of the barrel has cover in which head or delivery valves
are provided.
8. It is a measure of the degree of perfection of maintaining a desired vacuum in the condenser. The
ideal vacuum means the vacuum due to steam alone when air is absent. Under such a condition total
pressure in the condenser will reach to the pressure of steam corresponding to the saturation
temperature of the steam.
Vacuum Efficiency
9. The air extraction pump is provided at the center and the air is extracted from the center. The exhaust
steam and air enter from the top and flow radially towards the center by passing over the entire
periphery of the tubes. The condensate is extracted at the bottom by condensate extraction pump.
10. Which is not included in the classification of surface condensers for the number of water passes?
triple pass
IDENTIFICATION:
1.) _______ are devices in which the exhaust steam from the steam turbine is condensed by means of
cooling water.
-Steam Condensers
2. Also called barometric condenser because the condenser shell is placed above the hot well by more
than barometric height of water column of 10.363 m.
-High-Level Jet
-Surface Condenser
4. In the case of barometric condenser a vacuum loss of about 1 to 1.5 cm of Hg occurs. (True or False)
–True
5. _______ means the vacuum due to steam alone when air is absent.
–ideal vacuum
-Cooling Towers
7. The condenser is filled with air at pressure and then its effect on soap water is noted at the locations
where infiltration is likely to occur. At the point of air leakage bubbles can be seen.
8. The pressure inside the condenser is below the atmospheric pressure and is called ________.
- Vacuum Pressure
-1.01325
10. In Counter Flow Type, the steam and cooling water flow in the __________ direction.
–opposite
