Condensate, vacuum and make-up pumps
Unique motor demands
In a 500 MWe plant, for example, a condenser pump and motor working at full load capacity will move about 6,000 US gallons per minute (0.38 m³/s). By removing inward air leaks from the condenser, vacuum pumps reduce turbine backpressure, improving heat rates and reducing generating costs. And by resupplying the condensate lost during the steam cycle with purified make-up water, the make-up pump and motor keep the plant’s boiler from running dry.
