Advantages:
Simple in design & cheaper.
Less floor area is required.
Disadvantages:
Condensate is not pure hence can not be reused.
Low vacuum efficiency.
Advantages:
High vacuum efficiency.
Pure condensate.
Low quality cooling water can be used.
It allows the expansion of steam through a higher pressure ratio.
Disadvantages:
Large amount of water is required.
Construction is complicated.
Costly maintenance and skilled workers.
Large floor area.

3) The condensate cannot be used as feed water 3) The condensate can be used as feed water to
to boiler unless it is free from impurities boiler as it is not mixed with cooling water
4) More power is required for air pump 4) Less power is required for air pump
5) Less power is required for water pump 5) More power is required for water pump
6) Requires less quantity of cooling water 6) Requires large quantity of cooling water
8) Less suitable for high capacity plants due to 8) More suitable for high capacity plants as
low vacuum efficiency vacuum efficiency is high
