6.During Preheating ,vacuum is kept minimum why?

7.Why is vacuum kept high in condenser (MCQ- MORE THAN ONE)

Steam condenses at lower temperature

Steam flow is directed towards condenser
Max heat is utilised
Steam entering condenser hits condensate at bottom readily

It is apparent that the greater the vacuum obtained, the lower will be the temperature of the
steam. The lower the temperature of the steam in the condenser, the more heat we have
available for conversion into mechanical energy in the engines.
After the steam leaves the exhaust section of the turbine, it enters a condenser, where it is
cooled to its liquid state. The process of condensing the steam creates a vacuum, which then
brings in more steam from the turbine

Supply
Exhaust of excess steam

Leak off of Gland (reeds pg-178, GJ Roy Pg-48, Taylor pg-60 ---all except Roy say that
steam leaks from one pocket of gland to the other. In the end we are left with leak off.)
Supply and exhaust

There are two pockets in the glands fitted to all the ends of the turbine; the inner
pocket is connected to the gland steam supply and the outer to the exhaust line . The
HP turbine has to further inner pockets due to it having to deal with steam at higher
pressures and hence increased leakage. The innermost pocket simply passes leakage
steam back to the casing a few stages downstream, the next pocket passes the leakage
steam to the HP turbine exhaust.
When the engine is stopped the gland steam make-up supplies the system
requirements. When the engine is in use the flow of steam to the supply pocket of the
inlet end to the HP end reverses and the gland starts to supply the system reducing the
quantity the make-up has to provide. At full power the only gland requiring steam will
be the exhaust end of the LP turbine, the other will be either supplying the system or
supplying themselves sufficiently to not require steam from the system.In this
condition the make-up would be shut and the pressure regulated by the dump opening.
