Surface condenser

Okay, so you know how when you breathe out on a cold day, you can see your breath? That's because the warm air you breathed out is meeting the cold air outside, and turning into a mist. Something similar happens in big machines that make electricity, except it's water turning into mist instead of air.

When machines make electricity, they get really hot. They need to cool down so they don't get too hot and break. But we don't want to waste all the water they use to cool down. That's where the surface condenser comes in.

Basically, the surface condenser is a big box that takes in hot steam from the machine that's making electricity. Then, it sends that steam through a bunch of tubes that are surrounded by cold water. That cold water cools the steam down, and turns it back into water droplets. Those water droplets are then collected in a tank, and can be used again to cool down the machines.

So, just like your breath turns into mist when it meets cold air, the steam from the electricity machine turns into water droplets when it meets cold water in the surface condenser. And that helps us reuse water instead of wasting it!
