gland steam cooler is used to cool steam of gland sealing comes from turbine
gland steam temp should be nearer to less than turbine lub. oil flash point.

A miniature steam power plant is a place where willy wonka allowed his oompa loompas to stay on holidays.
Gland staem condenser is meant for condensing the steam whichwas used for sealing the LABYRINTH GLAND and reusing it d cycle. It is then passed through d drain cooler and LP heaters and so on......
first mention which power plant in steam pp out come of the steam is cooled after it again passes through into the turbine
We see the wide use of pipe to carry steam and water in a power plant. Insulation is applied where necessary.

By heating water
To drive a steam turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator
Dry Steam Power Plant : generates power directly from the steam from inside the earth.Flash Steam Power Plant : Flash steam plants use waters at temperatures greater than 360F. As this hot water flows up, it is collected in a flash tank where drop in pressure causes the liquid to boil into steam. The steam is then used to run turbines which in turn generate power. The condensed steam is returned to the reservoir.Binary Steam Power Plant : This type of plant uses high temperature geothermal water to heat another liquid which has a lower boiling point than water.
The purpose of the gland steam system is to reduce steam leakage to a minimum and to prevent air ingress.Steam leakage leads to the requirement for increased make up; this increases the load on the feed and boiler water treatment chemicals and to a deterioration of the working environment surrounding the power plant.Air ingress leads to a loss of vacuum and hence reduction in plant efficiency , and causes problems of thermal stressing around the gland as well as increases oxygen content of the exhaust steam.To avoid ingress of air to the LP casing and to aprevent steam leak at the HP and IP casings.
STG stands for Steam turbine generator. It is a type of power plant that generates electricity by using steam to drive a turbine connected to a generator. The turbine converts the thermal energy in the steam into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy by the generator.
