What is the normal destination of steam exiting a main feed pump drive turbine?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Auxiliary exhaust system on a steam plant and what equipment normally discharges into it • Function and normal operating pressure of a deaerating feed tank (DFT) • Difference between steam going to the main condenser vs. steam going to the deaerating feed tank

💭 Think About

• Is the exhaust from a main feed pump drive turbine usually high‑enough quality (pressure/temperature) to be useful for heating/feedwater, or is it normally condensed directly? • Which system on a steam ship is specifically designed to receive low‑pressure exhaust steam from many small and medium turbines? • If steam went directly to the main condenser, what useful energy or function might be lost compared with sending it somewhere else first?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which line is normally connected to the auxiliary exhaust steam line on a typical marine steam plant schematic. • Check where the deaerating feed tank receives steam from under normal steaming conditions. • Confirm whether SSTG (ship service turbo‑generator) condensers are a separate destination from the main condenser, or if they are part of the main condensing system in standard arrangements.
