Abstract
In this paper, the results of the steam turbine condenser tests showing the dependence of the dissolved oxygen concentration and the water cooling temperature are presented. The steam surface condenser with the water cooling system is considered as the first stage of deaeration in the feedwater system of a steam turbine. The aim of this work is trying to investigate and describe the influence of regime factors on the deaeration effect of the steam surface condenser. Regimes with the nominal flow of the steam in the surface condenser were chosen for the estimation. The tests were continuing for 6 months in the range of the temperature of cooling water from 1 to 25 оС. The vacuum system of the steam turbine had a high level of air leakages that decreasing the efficiency of the feedwater dearation. The results show the negative correlation between dissolved oxygen in feedwater and the cooling water temperature. The surge of the concentration of dissolved oxygen was found in the water temperature about 11оС.
