Thanks to @keithappleton for filming this with me and thanks to @hugoslr for several of the engineering slides for Jet Condensers.

In this video we cover extensively something that is to be found almost nowhere on the internet, the general working principles and specific internal details of jet condensers, wet air pumps and feedwater heater-purifiers (also known as De-Aerators) we also cover the beginnings of traditional surface condensers.

Part 2 of this installment will cover the more developed surface condensers found in modern power plants that feature air ejectors known as "air sets" and their independent auxiliary condensers, and the water loop seal between them.
