Abstract
Condenser is classified by heat transfer process and water level control method. The features of each type of condenser and turbine are introduced. Turbine is classified by number of casing, exhaust direction and output range and features of each type of turbine are introduced. In addition, optimum combination of each type of turbine and condenser is discussed for geothermal power plant where locates at high altitude or low altitude, comparing plant arrangement and process flow diagram in several combinations. In this paper, steam turbine and condenser applied to flash cycle for geothermal power plant are discussed.
