  • Condenser vacuum load compensating system
    Patent number: 4287718
    Abstract: A condenser arrangement having a load bearing member hermetically coupled to the condenser's condensation chamber. Load transfer means are adapted to transfer the condenser vacuum load acting on the load bearing member to the turbine or turbine support in a manner to balance the condenser vacuum load acting on the turbine through the turbine exhaust. In the preferred arrangement means are provided to minimize contributions from the condensate to forces acting upon the load bearing member.
    Type: Grant
