DIRECT CONTACT CONDENSER HAVING AN AIR REMOVAL SYSTEM

摘要

A direct contact condenser in which a plurality of streams of water are discharged in a housing in a heat exchange relationship with steam passing therethrough to condense a portion of the steam. The condensed steam is reheated by redirecting the noncondensed steam in a heat exchange relation therewith, to remove air and other non-condensible gases from the condensed steam.
