Surface Condenser for Steam Turbine Power Plant from China
A large shell-and-tube heat exchanger designed to condense exhaust steam from a steam turbine in a power generation facility by cooling it with circulating water. It falls under HTS 8404.20.00.00 as a condenser specifically for steam power units, auxiliary to boilers in headings 8402 or 8403. The low-pressure exhaust steam is condensed into water for reuse in the boiler cycle.
