Abstract: A condenser neck (1) comprises two level cover plates (2) and two side walls (3) located between them that are favorably shaped with respect to flow technology. The cover plates (2) and side walls (3) may be reinforced with ribs (4a,4b). A pipe (5) arranged between the cover plates (2) further reinforces the condenser neck (1). It would also be conceivable to provide openings (11) for bypass lines in the pipe (5) and/or in the side walls (3).

Abstract: A steam condenser (1) which, relative to a steam turbine (2), is arranged at equal ground level and into which turbine steam flows in the horizontal direction through the condenser neck (3) has two or more modules (4a, 4b) in which the steam condenses on cooling tubes (10). The modules (4a, 4b) are, in accordance with the invention, separated by a defined intermediate space (7). The central, mutually facing module walls (9) are supported and connected to one another by connecting parts (8). This arrangement contributes to a defined stress distribution in the central module walls (9). In a particular embodiment, bypass conduits (20), which lead the steam from the boiler directly into the steam condenser (1) while bypassing the turbine (2), are arranged in the intermediate space (7). For this purpose, the bypass conduits (20) lead to a steam introduction appliance (21), which is arranged at the condenser neck (3) at the level of the intermediate space (7).
