The condensing turbines take high pressure steam, expand it in turbine nozzles and blades, and exhaust it to a condenser at lower than atmospheric pressure. It is principally used when power must be generated with minimum steam consumption. The condensing turbine may also have bleed points (uncontrolled extractions) to satisfy steam e. These type of turbines find application mainly for power generation where bleed steam is required for feed water heating (hp heater, lp heater and deaerator requirement) and / or where bleed steam is utilized to meet small process demands.
