PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable operation with the same number of low pressure condensate pumps and high pressure condensate pumps by locking a logic signal indicating the starting state of a high pressure condensate pump to prevent malfunctioning of a number of unit unbalance logic means when a loss of a power source occurs in the high pressure condensate pumps in the starting of the high pressure condensate pumps. SOLUTION: Lock means 35a-35c lock a logic signal indicating the starting state of high pressure condensate pumps 4-6 with respect to a starting signal of the high pressure condensate pumps 4-6 when a loss of a power source occurs in the high pressure condensing pumps 4-6. The lock means 35a-35c are made up of a wipeout circuit WO comprising a NOT circuit and an AND circuit and a logic value obtained by inputting a logic value at which a power source loss signal is inputted into the NOT circuit and a logic value of a starting signal into an AND circuit is inputted into a second logic circuit 19. The power source loss signal is inputted into a central processing unit of a digital controller by a fast input/output means thereby locking the starting signal of the high pressure condensate pumps 4-6.
