He was writing backwards in condensed steam, after all.

A common source of distilled water can be condensed steam.

This gas combines with the condensed steam in process equipment and return lines to form carbonic acid.

Water from the condensed steam displaces the oil into pipes.

There is also a condensate header to collect the condensed steam and return it to the boiler house.

Most of the heat energy in the condensed steam is therefore returned to the boiler, increasing the thermal efficiency of the process.

The ability to return condensed steam as water-liquid to the boiler at high pressure with relatively little expenditure of pumping power is important.

This condensed steam is withdrawn from the bottom of the surface condenser.

The condensed steam is now water, commonly referred to as condensate water.

The solids are then precipitated out of the liquid and washed with condensed steam.
