Sec. 56.50-35  Condensate pumps.

    Two means shall be provided for discharging the condensate from the 
main condenser, one of which shall be mechanically independent of the 
main propelling machinery. If one of the independent feed pumps is 
fitted with a direct suction from the condenser and a discharge to the 
feed tank, it may be accepted as an independent condensate pump. On 
vessels operating on lakes (including Great Lakes), bays, sounds, or 
rivers, where provision is made to operate noncondensing, only one 
condensate unit will be required.
