Condensing heat-transfer rates condensate backup

Does this mean that it is a lot easier to condense steam than to cool water Yes. This also explains, then, why condensate backup reduces the rate of heat transfer and condensation. 

To minimize condensate backup. If condensate fills up tubes, then those tubes are unavailable to condense steam. Thus, the rate of heat transfer will drop in proportion to the tubes filled with water.
