- After rotating the turbine blades, the steam has lost its high pressure, passes out of turbine blades and enters into a condenser.
- In the condenser the cold water is circulated with help of pump which condenses the low pressure wet steam.
- This condensed water is then further supplied to low pressure water heater where the low pressure steam increases the temperature of this feed water, it is then again heated in a high pressure heater where the high pressure of steam is used for heating.
- The turbine in thermal power station acts as a prime mover of the alternator.
