condenser pressure
1Condenser (heat transfer) — For other Condensers not involving heat transfer, see Condenser (disambiguation). In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, typically by cooling it. In… …
2condenser — [1] A small metal cylinder which is usually located in the distributor. It is installed between the breaker points and coil to prevent arcing at the breaker points by absorbing or storing the excess current. A condenser (also called a capacitor ) …
3Condenser cooling water — A source of water external to a boiler s feed system is passed through the steam leaving the turbine in order to cool and condense the steam. This reduces the steam s exit pressure and recaptures its heat, which is then used to preheat fluid… …
4condensing pressure — Pressure inside a condenser at which refrigerant vapor gives up its latent heat of vaporization and becomes a liquid. This varies with the temperature …
5Surface condenser — A surface condenser is a commonly used term for a water cooled shell and tube heat exchanger installed on the exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal power stations.[1][2][3] These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its …
6Discharge pressure — (also called high side pressure or head pressure) is the pressure generated on the output side of a gas compressor in a refrigeration or air conditioning system. The discharge pressure is affected by several factors: size and speed of the… …
7Siphon condenser — Siphon Si phon, n. [F. siphon, L. sipho, onis, fr. Gr. ??? a siphon, tube, pipe.] 1. A device, consisting of a pipe or tube bent so as to form two branches or legs of unequal length, by which a liquid can be transferred to a lower level, as from… …
8High pressure steam locomotive — A high pressure steam locomotive is a steam locomotive with a boiler that operates at pressures well above what would be considered normal. In the later years of steam, boiler pressures were typically 200 to 250 PSI (1.4 to 1.7 MPa). High… …
9head pressure — [1] Pressure which exists in condensing side of refrigerating system. [2] Force caused by the weight of a column or body of fluids. Expressed in feet, inches, or psi. [3] Refrigerant pressure in the lines and condenser between the discharge reed… …
10turbine — /terr bin, buyn/, n. any of various machines having a rotor, usually with vanes or blades, driven by the pressure, momentum, or reactive thrust of a moving fluid, as steam, water, hot gases, or air, either occurring in the form of free jets or as …
