50. What are the typical trouble spots for air ingress in a condenser?

  1. Turbine to Condenser joints
  2. Turbine expansion diaphragms
  3. Turbine atmospheric valves
  4. LP glands and gland housings
  5. LP bled-steam lines and feed heaters
  6. Condenser fittings ( Gauge glass, etc.)
  7. Any drain line passing back to the steam spaces of condenser, erosion at pipe bends can be a particular problem
