Condenser
The condenser converts used turbine steam into water both for reusing the steam and to pull a vacuum to allow more power production from a given amount of steam.
Vacuum Pump An electric pump allows vacuum to build earlier in turbine start up.
Vacuum indicates a pressure lower than atmospheric.
Condenser Level The indicator for the condensers hot well condensate level.
t/g #7 has gland seals which are described under #5
