When the engine is to operate condensing, the condensershould be started first, if it is in such a position that the water 172 STEAM ENGINES in the exhaust can drain into it. If the condenser is abovethe engine and no means are provided for removing the water, theengine should be started non-condensing. When a jet condenseris used, the quantity of injection water should be increased as theload is increased; the amount being determined by the conditionsof the vacuum and temperature of the discharge water, which.
