Abstract
A condensation system for use in a power plant including a steam generator and steam turbine comprises at least one side stream condenser. The side stream condenser defines therein first and second hot wells with the first hot well receiving therein condensate produced by condensing steam exhausted from the steam turbine. A condensate pump device forcibly delivers the condensate through a condensate feed line having one end thereof connected to the first hot well and the other end communicating with the second hot well. A first purification device is provided in the condensate feed line to remove impurities from the condensate flowing therethrough. A main condensate pump device forcibly delivers the condensate through a main condensate feed line having one end thereof communicating with the condensate feed line and the other end connected to the steam generator. A second purification device is provided in the main condensate feed line downstream of the main condensate pump device, for removing impurities from the condensate introduced into the steam generator through the main condensate feed line.
