As with most objects here, this thing was huge! Looks like some kind of filter.

It's the condenser -- river or lake water was pumped through the small tubes and the exhaust steam from the turbine passed over the cooled tubes and condensed to water -- to be pumped to the boiler again and again

Its where cooling water was pumped to cool the air that blew over the electrical generator to keep the wires from melting.

this reminds me of when i had to put something in the plant room at my work and there i saw a massive air-con unit with a huuuge filter and a space like hatch door to go inside it...

I'm with Gratefulzens, another condenser. Scooter... how on earth did you come up with that conclusion?

I'm with Gratefulzenz and CS. It's the top of a condenser, the turbine has been removed.
But to split hairs, looks like the steam passes through the tubes and the cooling water surrounds the tubes. Looks cool. Does look like a TV dinner tray.

This is the cooling side of the condenser your looking at

Scooter has it right, IMO. The condensers are *under* the generator turbines, and this looks more like a chiller-type heat exchanger than a condenser. I could be wrong, but I don;t think so.
