Abstract
A concrete steam condenser for an axial exhaust turbine supported on a concrete foundation, is aligned with the exhaust and comprises a volume whose external concrete envelope forms a monolithic assembly with the concrete foundation. The turbine exhaust is flanged to the condenser inlet. The condenser does not require supporting or guiding. The turbine shaft responds better to deformation of the condenser. The amount of concrete used is significantly less than the volume usually used.
