A question regarding one of the steps in turbine startup

The last edit to this post was made by he*aoyu8911 on 2017-5-17 at 18:53. Why is it prohibited to allow steam traps to enter the condenser before vacuuming it? Those who can provide a clear and thorough explanation will receive an additional 10 wealth points as a reward
The hydrophobic fluid enters the condenser through the expansion vessel. The steam discharge on the steam side of the expander is located at the top of the condenser; due to the absence of vacuum, a normal flow direction for the steam is not established. As a result, the steam entering the condenser flows upward rather than downward, causing a temperature difference in the cylinder and potentially leading to the opening of the safety valve of the low-pressure cylinder.
No negative pressure has been created, so the water flow doesn’t reach the condenser!
If water gets in, it will damage the turbine
Your answer is reliable; the one given in the production section was clearly incorrect. If no one else comes up with a better answer, I’ll send you flowers: lol
