that is definitely the condenser. Here is a smaller version of one recognize the hatches on it. http://www.jsmea.or.jp...-e/showa/indexE.html

my guess is its a condenser as there does not seem to be any flue tubes or a fire box. also it would be odd for a boiler to be in the same room as the turbine. any closeup pics of the boiler/condenser

that would be the steam temp gauge I was talking about in the last pic.

Turbines need very dry steam to function at peak performance as well as to allow for max operating life of the parts.

oops sorry hit the button by mistake so as i was saying...

for temperature readings from the steam inlet and outlet as well as from the turbine blades.

If its a steam related question Hawks your man!!!

Hmm... If these are anything like the gauge stations in piston driven steam plants it would appear that those are pressure gauges for the main steam inlet and outlet ( adjusting the pressure allows for precise and tiny adjustments to the turbines RPM's ) a as well as tachometers to measure the RPM's of the turbine and most likely a thermometer for temperature r

I remember those my grandfather used one in therapy when he had part of his foot amputated. Its name escapes me but it has somthing to do with helping the patient balance. If memory serves it was mounted on a cart and could be flipped up on its base and used to take some of the weight of of the injured limb allowing the patient to work on balancing.
