Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
In a plate type condenser comprising a plurality of heat transmitting plates assembled face to face to form therebetween passages for steam and cooling liquid alternately, each of said plates having a condensate collecting and discharging means consisting of inclined grooves and vertical grooves arranged for each given region in a heat transmitting surface on the steam passage side thereof, and a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending between the the inclined grooves in the direction of the condensate stream and communicating at the lower end thereof with the inclined groove, wherein the improvement which is characterized in that the longitudinal grooves are curved smoothly at their lower portions in the direction of the inclined groove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
124 words
In a plate type condenser comprising a plurality of heat transmitting plates assembled face to face to form therebetween passages for steam and cooling liquid alternately, each of said plates having a condensate collecting and discharging means consisting of inclined grooves and vertical grooves arranged for each given region in a heat transmitting surface on the steam passage side thereof, and a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending between the inclined grooves in the direction of the condensate stream and communicating at the lower end thereof with the inclined groove, wherein the improvement which is characterized in that each of said inclined grooves is formed in multi-stripes configuration, each of stripes in the inclined groove communicating with the vertical groove at the lower end thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
124 words
In a plate type condenser comprising a plurality of heat transmitting plates assembled face to face to form therebetween passages for steam and cooling liquid alternately, each of said plates having a condensate collecting and discharging means consisting of inclined grooves and vertical grooves arranged for each given region in a heat transmitting surface on the steam passage side thereof, and a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending between the inclined grooves in the direction of the condensate stream and communicating at the lower end thereof with the inclined groove, wherein the improvement which is characterized in that each of said inclined grooves is formed in multi-stripes configuration, each of stripes in the inclined groove communicating with the vertical groove at the lower end thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A plate type condenser as set forth in claim 2, characterized in that each stripe of the inclined groove is same in length with the others.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
