Question

Difference in condensing and non comdensing turbine

Answer 1

A condensing turbine uses all the energy from the steam going from high pressure turbine to secondary turbine to condensing turbine then sends the condensate back for reheating. where a non condensing turbine just uses the high pressure aspect of the steam then returns the low pressure stream back to be reheated.

Condensng turbines utilises the entire available drop from high pressure to the vacuum in the condenser; a back pressure turbine only utilises only the top part, whereas an exhaust steam turbine utilises only th bottom part of the pressure drop.

Hope that helps.
