🔍 Key Concepts

• Steam flow in a condensing turbine gland from higher pressure to lower pressure • Difference between gland sealing steam supply (positive pressure) and gland exhaust connection (to gland exhaust condenser / vacuum system) • How the location of the ports (inner vs outer side of the gland) relates to what they connect to

💭 Think About

• On a condensing turbine, which side of the gland is closer to the condenser vacuum, and which side is closer to atmosphere or higher pressure? • If sealing steam must flow toward the leak paths, should its connection be nearer the area you want to keep pressurized or nearer the suction to the exhaust condenser? • Looking at the sketch, which labeled area, E or F, appears to be the central collection/suction space that would logically be piped to a gland exhaust condenser?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which cavity (E or F) is the larger annular space that collects leakage from both sides of the gland – that one usually connects to the gland exhaust system. • Check which cavity is positioned so that steam entering there would naturally flow outward through the labyrinths toward higher‑leak areas – that one is typically the sealing steam connection. • Before choosing, mentally trace a path from condenser vacuum → gland → atmosphere and ensure pressures change smoothly from highest to lowest without any impossible jump.
