Abstract
A power plant, from which large amounts of process steam are removed and to which large amounts of make-up water are supplied continuously, has a degassing system (5) for the make-up water supplied, which as part of the condensation system is connected to the condenser (10) of the power plant. Bleed pumps (25) are connected to the condenser (10) via a first suction line (15) and to the degassing system (5) via a second suction line (16) and remove a mixture of steam and non-condensable gases from the power plant. A control member (22, 23), such as for example a regulating valve, a regulating diaphragm or a readjustable restrictor, is arranged in at least one of the two lines (15, 16), with the result that the suction capacity in that line and the distribution of the suction capacity to the two lines (15, 16) can be adjusted during operation of the power plant.
