Abstract

A vacuum plant, in particular for secondary metallurgy, having at least one ejector which is in communication with a closed container within which a metallurgical vessel which is to be placed under pressure can be brought. A second ejector is connected in series with the one ejector via an intermediate condenser having a cooling water feed line and a condensate discharge line. A final condenser and a suction pump are connected to the second ejector. A controllable condensate distributor member is provided in the condensate discharge line of the intermediate condenser. One line of the distributing member is connected to a heat exchanger and the other line is connected to the cooling water supply of a final condenser.
