Best Answer

It condenses the spent working fluid from the turbine output back to a liquid before it is recycled back into the steam generators of the power plant. This increases operating efficiency. Usually the condenser operates by running the working fluid through a network of pipes inside a tower. Water mist is sprayed on the pipes to cool them and an updraft causes a vapor cloud to exit the top of the tower.

What is the life of a condenser in a thermal power plant?

Many major components of thermal power plants are designed for a service lifetime of about thirty to fifty years. The actual condenser lifetime will depend on a number of factors: quality of materials, impurities in the cooling water, whether the plant is run continuously, etc. From time to time, some of the tubes of the condenser may need to be replaced as one aspect of the periodic maintenance of the plant.

Does thermal energy run on gasoline?

Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of condenser?

A condenser is a device which condenses the steam at the exhaust of turbine. Condensers are classified in to two types.Such as (1) Jet condenser (2) Surface condenser It serves important functions. Such as 1. The condenser enables the recovery and recirculation of pure feed water into the plant. Thus, (i)The cost of water softening plant is reduced and (ii) It also saves the cost of fresh water to be supplied to the boiler.
