A steam condenser ( ) which, relative to a steam turbine ( ), is arranged at equal ground level and into which turbine steam flows in the horizontal direction through the condenser neck ( ) has two or more modules ( ) in which the steam condenses on cooling tubes ( ). The modules ( ) are, in accordance with the invention, separated by a defined intermediate space ( ). The central, mutually facing module walls ( ) are supported and connected to one another by connecting parts ( ). This arrangement contributes to a defined stress distribution in the central module walls ( ). In a particular embodiment, bypass conduits ( ), which lead the steam from the boiler directly into the steam condenser ( ) while bypassing the turbine ( ), are arranged in the intermediate space ( ). For this purpose, the bypass conduits ( ) lead to a steam introduction appliance ( ), which is arranged at the condenser neck ( ) at the level of the intermediate space ( ). Because of this positioning, the flow of the turbine steam ( ) into the steam condenser ( ) is not hindered.
