Steam turbines may ... be classified as condensing or noncondensing, depending upon whether or not the steam is exhausted to a condenser ... In condensing turbines, condensation of the exhaust steam is effected by the circulation of large quantities of cold water through the tubes of the condenser. The circulating water absorbs the heat given up during condensation and carries it away. 2, record 1, English, - condensing%20turbine

L’accroissement de la puissance unitaire des turbines, qui atteint aujourd’hui les 225 mégawatts, favorise le développement du cycle combiné pour la production d’électricité à partir de gaz. Une centrale à cycle combiné occupe 40 % d’espace en moins qu’une centrale au fioul ou au charbon, elle consomme moins d’énergie primaire et pollue moins. Enfin, sa conception modulaire lui permet de suivre plus étroitement l’évolution de la demande. 2, record 5, French, - cycle%20combin%C3%A9
