Yes, you can hydro through a gland steam condenser, but it requires careful consideration of the system's design and operating conditions. Hydro-testing should be conducted at appropriate pressures and temperatures to ensure the integrity of the condenser without causing damage. It's essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and industry standards to avoid compromising the equipment's performance. Proper drainage and venting during the process are also crucial to prevent water accumulation and potential damage.
Gland is used for the prevent leakage of oil from the gland box which is made up of copper or brass and gland box function is to support the glands which are made up of cast iron.This is called oil gland. steam gland is used for prevent the leakage of steam which exhausts air and which helps build up the vaccum in condenser is called steam gland.
It is important to maintain a vacuum in a condenser if you want it to work well.
A kenotometer is an instrument used in steam turbine condensers to measure the vacuum in the steam space of the condenser. The vacuum achieved by the condenser has significant influence on the efficiency of the steam turbine.
heat losses in condenser in percentage
gland steam temp should be nearer to less than turbine lub. oil flash point.
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......
gland condenser is a type of condenser in which steam which is coming from d turbine is used for the heating of demineralised water and then this water is sent to the boiler so boiling of hot water consumes less coal and thus we get benifit of it
A gland condenser on a steam turbine is a component designed to manage the exhaust steam and maintain a vacuum in the turbine's sealing system. It collects steam that leaks from the turbine's gland seals, condensing it back into water to reduce steam loss and improve overall efficiency. By maintaining a vacuum, the gland condenser helps optimize turbine performance and prevents air ingress, which can reduce efficiency and increase operational issues.
Gland steam is steam supplied to the labyrinth glands of the low pressure turbine to prevent air entering in the exhaust side, which disturbs the vacuum (± 50 mbar absolute) in the condenser. Gland steam pressure is to supply at about 0,2 bar.

Gland steam always send from bottom because if we send the gland steam from top then it has a tendency to pass directly to the bottom (condenser) .Due to this reason gland steam is send from bottom so that it occupies total turbine inside vacuum space and seal it.

Steam generates electricity by spinning turbines located within electromagnetic fields. The steam can be generated by heating water using many types of fuels, such as coal, gas, and oil, or through the heat generated from controlled nuclear reactions.
This is to cool the steam turbine condenser, where the steam outlet from the turbine's last stage is condensed before returning to the boiler feed pump inlets. The cooling towers circulate water that passes through tubes inside the condenser, separate from the steam/water in the boilers.
