A con-denser is sometimes located in a pit considerably below the enginein order that the lift may not be too great. As stated in the firstchapter of this series, the availability of a supply of condensing STEAM POWER PLANTS. 105 water often determines the location of the power house. If ariver or reservoir is nearby and it is not desirable to locate thepower house close to the river, water can be led to a well closeto the condenser either in an open trench or in a tunnel or conduit > Injection Afr Cooler.
