Abstract:An effective measure to increase the performance of turbine power plants is to minimize flow losses in the condenser resulting in a smaller terminal temperature difference (TTD) — the more the TTD of the condenser can be reduced in an optimization process of a given power plant configuration, the more the exhaust pressure will decrease. With an optimized condenser tube bundle design the TTD can be improved.
