What are the effects of low and high liquid levels in the condenser hot well?

It depends on that turbine; generally, it affects the vacuum level. Of course, if there are other users of the condensate, that will definitely have an impact as well.

A low level of hot well fluid can cause cavitation in the condensate pump. In some systems, the condensate at the pump outlet must pass through a vacuum condenser for heat exchange, which can lead to abnormal operation of the vacuum condenser and a decrease in vacuum level； The level of hot well fluid is high; when it submerges or partially submerges the tubes of the surface cooler, it results in insufficient heat exchange by the surface cooler, which in turn leads to a decrease in vacuum.
