Brace A Steam when passes through the nozzles, underyoes expansion treating fa high velocity jet at the nozzle outlet which entrains the air steam mixture from condenser and the high velocity air steam mixture flows through the diffuser where it gets compressed and exhausted into the first stage inter cooler consisting of tube system. ‘The non condensable gases with associated steam get sucked into second stage and third stage for successive compression. The air steam mixture is finally exhausted from the third stage diffuser where pressure is slightly above atmospheric. Main condensate (feed water) is used for condensing steam in the inter cooler and after cooler of the ejector. Fifty percentage of total conden- sate flows through each ejector. ‘Technical Data Design Parameters Working steam pressure - 6.5 kg/sq.cm.g Working steam temperature - 210°C Working steam flow = 1000 kg/hr Air removal capacity = 60 kg/hr.

No. 11620040016) Gland steam condenser which is directly mounted horizontally in the feed water piping, utilises the steam leaking past the turbine glands for heating the feed water flowing through the tubes. ‘The steam is condensed and collected in the bottom of shell. Air & non condensables along with associated steam is sucked out by fan exhau- sters. Two nos electric motor operated fan exhausters have been provided ‘one working & other standby. Construction Gland steam condenser is a horizontal shell & tube type heat exchanger having water box at inlet & outlet end. 19x 1 mm thk 315 nos straight tubes of stainless steel TP 321 are pro- waded as heat transfer surface. The ends of tubes are expanded into tubepllate at the either end. The tube plates are welded inside the shell. Necessary connections for steam inlet, drain outlet, airsteam mixture outlet are provided on shell. ‘The following fittings/instruments are supplied with gland steam condenser. 1) Water level gauge 2) Dial thermometer with thermowell 3) Vacuum gauge 4) Water expansion release valve 5) Water box drain valve. Exhauster fan (Ref. Dry. No. VL/1870) 2 Nos exhauster fans have been provided one for normal operation & other standby. Tt is a centrifugal type fan directly coupled to electric motor. The assem bly of fan exhauster and motor is mounted on the foundation. ‘Technical Data 1) No. of provided = 1x 1008 2) No. of tubes ae 3) Tube size * 19 mm ODX 1 mm thk. 4) Tube material - Stainless steel 321 5) Overall length * 1.36 metre 6) No. of fan exhauster “= ‘Two (one standby) 7) ‘Type of fan exhauster - Centrifugal. 8) Exhauster fan motor rating - 3.0 KW Operation All the parts of the equipment should be checked prior to starting.
