In this paper a method for evaluation of losses caused by condenser efficiency reduction in steam power stations is presented. The procedure allows the evaluation of the effects caused either by the reduction of cooling water flow rate or by decrease of condenser heat exchange (fouling); moreover it allows the evaluation of the consequent variation in the condensing pressure (temperature) and the increased energy losses as heat consumption increase of the thermal process. The method is based on the comparison of the real (measured) data with design data 'corrected' by derating conditions.
