This is not a condenser. It is part of the boiler assembly. Those are not tubes sticking out, they are tie rods for the missing plates.The rods supported the plates from bulging outward while under pressure. You can see from the picture titled Cross Sectioned, that this unit sits directly below the turbine. And from the picture titled Scale that this is the backend of the boiler.

These pictures are wonderful. It is rather sad this little piece of history has been allowed to degrade into it's current state.
