Abstract:
This paper compares the performance of a condenser during the period
between August and December 2018 to that during the commissioning period. It
belongs to the Steam Power Plant (PLTU) I in Central Kalimantan. The comparisons are carried out in terms of the load, LMTD, temperature efficiency, capacity
ratio, and effective heat transfer coefficient. The overall results suggest that time

main reason for this.
