Each unit has two boiler feed pumps, one of which is run by its own steam turbine, and the other of which is powered via the low-pressure turbine-generator through a fluid coupling ( so rpm may be varied to maintain the proper boiler feedwater flow and pressure ).

As a good portion of income comes from maintenance and service, we are confident that we will maintain our income from fertilisers even though there won't be growth . " Additionally, the boiler industry, where KSB has a lion's share of 40 per cent in boiler feed pumps, is facing a slowdown.

The ship's condensers were in such bad condition by this time that much of the output from the fresh-water evaporators was required to replenish the boiler feed water and could not be used by the crew to wash and bathe or even to heat the mess decks during cold weather as the steam pipes were too leaky.

*Surface condenser has the answer : In thermal power plants, the primary purpose of a surface condenser is to condense the exhaust steam from a steam turbine to obtain maximum efficiency and also to convert the turbine exhaust steam into pure water ( referred to as steam condensate ) so that it may be reused in the steam generator or boiler as boiler feed water.
