Detailed explanation-1: -Watt patented the device in 1769. In 1776 Watt and his business partner, Matthew Boulton, installed two steam engines with separate condensers. The modified steam engines not only reduced waste but also cut fuel costs.
Detailed explanation-2: -An Englishman had developed it in 1712 for the purpose of pumping water out of mine shafts, but it proved too weak to be employed in mines. Watt immediately identifies the reason. The steam vapor cools down in the cylinder. Watt realized that this was causing an immense amount of thermal energy loss.
