Direct contact condenser for steam turbine

A direct contact condenser for a steam turbine, the direct contact condenser comprising:

• an exhaust gas inlet part configured to introduce a turbine exhaust gas containing steam and a non-condensable gas of the steam turbine in a horizontal direction;
• a steam cooling chamber configured to spray cooling water at the turbine exhaust gas introduced through the exhaust gas inlet part to cool the turbine exhaust gas;
• and
• a water storage which is disposed at a bottom of the steam cooling chamber and which stores condensed water generated by cooling the steam and the cooling water,
• the steam cooling chamber comprising:
• a first cooling water spraying mechanism which is disposed adjacent the exhaust gas inlet part and which sprays the cooling water within a range restricted from a side of the condenser to a downstream direction of the turbine exhaust gas;
• and
• a second cooling water spraying mechanism which is disposed at a downstream side of the first cooling water spraying mechanism and which sprays the cooling water to the turbine exhaust gas in all directions.
