Abstract
An exhaust steam pipeline for steam power plants includes a main steam line and at least two branch lines which are fluidly connected to respective condenser elements of the steam power plant and branch off from the main steam line at connection zones in spaced-apart relationship. The main steam line has a cross section, which decreases following each of the connection zones, and is constructed to ascend at an angle to a horizontal in flow direction of the exhaust steam.
